A turbulent game of hide-and-seek becomes the afternoon walk of Mildred and her friends, who illegally make their way to Cosy's tearoom. On the way they meet Sam Hope, who is on a mission for a windy speculator. He is supposed to persuade poor Mrs. Cosy that her beloved tearoom is threatened by a terrible natural disaster! That should make her sell her property to Bruno Schlitzohr. In the meantime, Mildred and her friends hide from Mrs. Graustein, a loyal customer of the tearoom, she in turn hides from Mrs. Harschmann, who Esther and Drusilla have told everything to.
