Nancy, Bess, and George encounter an isolated mansion and hear wild shrieks --what a way to kick off a mystery.
Nancy is in the area to help her father find an heir to an estate. In their quest, they interview an old friend, Mrs. Labelle, who is guess what? Poor. Nancy and her friends hope the heiress June will help her friend.
Eventually Nancy thwarts Ramo, a swarthy gypsy-like looking man who wears long dangling earrings and a bandanna, his fortune telling sister, and reluctant accomplice niece in their attempt to steal June's inheritance. You know Ramo is bad: he sneers through clenched teeth, storms, fastens his beady black eyes as if trying to hypnotize Nancy, and his eyes dart fire toward her.
Nancy ends up finding June in the moss-covered mansion of the title where an artist is confining and abusing wild animals. Note: I say he is abusing them; Nancy and her friends don't seem to see it that way.
Nancy survives a plane crash and a leopard attack. At least she solved the mystery.
