Description: Sally and Victoria visit Victoria's aunt in Mexico and find their stay to be rather boring until Victoria's spirited brother, Roger, unexpectedly arrives.  Shortly thereafter, the three young people meet Dolores Mercedes, who is practically held a prisoner by her uncle inside the neighboring hacienda.  Uncle Pedro keeps Dolores a prisoner so that Jack Hamilton is unable to see her.  One day the young people meet Jack, who requests that they carry a message to Dolores.  Jack wants Dolores to go with him to the Floating Gardens.  Dolores asks Sally, Victoria, and Roger to accompany them to the gardens.  The trip turns into a disaster when Dolores loses a valuable pin, and Uncle Pedro learns of the outing.

Uncle Pedro takes Dolores away to his other hacienda, and Sally, Victoria, and Roger feel lost without her.  Victoria's aunt suggests a trip into the mountains, and by chance, the young people meet up with Dolores again.  Sally, Victoria, and Roger learn of a hollow wall, discover its strange secret, and help right a wrong for Dolores.
