A vacation music camp, an old country estate, a mysterious caretaker who can fix his eye on the students and make them play like virtuosos and the unexplained death of a musician who loved Beethoven all come together to make an adventure in the true Enid Blyton tradition.
Young Flea, the practical joker, becomes obsessed with tracking down the ghost of the dead musician; the more serious Jason throws himself into composing his difficult Concerto which he assigns to Greta, whom he admires. While music isn't initially foremost in their minds, the children leave the camp having had the musical experience of a lifetime.
