A new play by Diana Hardyment.
Young Alexandra, who is called Sandra for short, is staying with her grandparents and finding it rather dull. She wants to play cowboys and Indians with the boys next door but such a bold idea is frowned upon. Cedric, her cousin, is not much fun to play with, and Conway, the manservant, finds Sandra really irritating. So the outlook looks dull too - until something very unexpected happens.
