Guardian for two children of wealth and gentle birth is an unusual responsibility for a young beggar boy who had earned his living by whistling and playing the drums. But strange events which happened fast, brought young Rob McFarland into this amazing situation. Since Rob is a lad of convictions and of resourcefulness, as well as of jolly disposition, he not only wins over the children and becomes their lively playmate, but also circumvents a plot and brings the story to an unexpected and happy ending. A gay, romantic story of Scotland in the days of Sir Walter Scott, - a land of wandering minsterals and high adventure.
