Jill and Joy are two ordinary girls, but they are exceptionally happy ones. Maybe because they get to live on Rose Alley in a house designed for them by Mrs. Rosebud. One day an orphanage opens near the girls' house. A boy named Pekki runs away from the orphanage and ends up living in the girls' gazebo. He tells the girls about the gloomy life in the orphanage and about its director, Mina Shortfuse. Jill, Joy and Pekki establish the Bandit Alliance and take action so that the orphanage will become a happy place once again. The McTinys and other residents of the Rose Alley rush to help the Bandit Alliance. Once again, mystical Mrs. Rosebud turns out to be the person behind the magical miracles.
