When the four Stanley kids learn that the whole family is going to Italy for a year, they couldn’t be more excited. Even grumpy Amanda, their stepsister, admits that they’re bound to have quite an adventure.
But adventure turns into trouble when Amanda brags about having a rich father, and her news falls into the hands of the wrong people–kidnappers. When they strike, Red Mask and his gang find they can’t take Amanda without nabbing all the Stanley kids.
Locked in a cellar and held for ransom, the children know they must plan an escape. Nothing short of a miracle will help the Stanleys now. Can they find some way to outfox the gang?
