Storm over Burracombe

the long version

Hilary Napier is upset and angry when her father brings in a new manager for the estate which she has been running for the past year. Even though she cannot help liking Travis Kellaway, she resents his presence, and it takes the illness of her brother's much-loved horse Major, to make her realize that she may have misjudged him. Meanwhile, Burracombe village life is enlivened by the new Drama Club, formed by the energetic young curate Felix Copley. Almost all the village becomes involved in the pantomime he produces, with sometimes hilarious results ... until tragedy strikes, and not only the pantomime is threatened.
