The Chalet School and St Scholastika's become a single school after Miss Browne, the headmistress of St Scholastika's wins a law-suit and retires. She offers her school as a whole to Madame and Mademoiselle Lepattre, who accept. Due to the addition of more than 40 pupils as well as new staff, the Chalet School is quite crowded, so plans are made for the building of a new house, as well as the acquisition of a nearby chalet. As the students try to become a united school, the Mystic M play a series of pranks on both the school itself and people related to it. The affair comes to a head when Sybil Russell is kidnapped! With the addition of two new buildings, the authorities of the Chalet School make plans for a new house system to be introduced next term which will see each level of the school mixed thoroughly. The newly built house will be named St Scholastika's, and the newly bought chalet named St Hild's. St Hild's will serve as a home for members of staff not accommodated elsewhere in the school.
