In her home of Crackpot Hall, her mother banished the butler so eleven thousand rooms roam at random. Flora, as youngest child at home, does all the housework, mucks out the stables, and tries to contain her drunken crazed Poppy. Late for school, Flora rides the elevator - to the lost library, where whining decrepit butler Valefor sucks her anima and both start to fade out of existence. Her fashion-minded childhood boy pal Udo tries, but the only hope is her stern mother Commanding General's worst enemy, Lord Axacaya, guarded by fierce warrior Quetzals.

For her fourteenth birthday party coming up, she also has to finish her dress, cook ccpious tamales, ink fancy calligraphic invitations, write a speech, and explain why instead of following family tradition of Army, she wants to be a Ranger like the late Nini Mo, whose surviving sidekick Boy Hansgen will be hanged tomorrow as the Dainty Pirate - unless Flora and Udo can help?
