Sixteen-year-old Laurel (Hayley Mills) has been the ward of her wealthy maternal grandmother, Mrs. St. Maugham (Dame Edith Evans), for four years, since Mrs. St. Maugham's estranged daughter, Laurel's mother Olivia (Elizabeth Sellars), re-married. Laurel's father has since passed.
Edith Evans plays a matriarchal grandmother who, in raising her granddaughter, has neglected her other love – a barren chalk garden. Mayhem ensues as Laurel's behavior frightens away a succession of governesses until an enigmatic one is hired in spite of her mysterious references.
