Fifteen-year-old Miss Penelope Lumley, a recent graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, is hired as governess to three young children who have been raised by wolves and must teach them to behave in a civilized manner quickly, in preparation for a Christmas ball.

After returning from London, the three Incorrigible children and their governess, Miss Penelope Lumley, resume their normal routine while Penelope continues to uncover information about her past. When a noted explorer's prized ostrich gets lost in the woods, the Incorrigibles lead the search to recover it, but Penelope fears that allowing them to return to the wilderness will cause them to revert to their wolf-like behaviors.

Determined to break the wolfish curse that is threatening her charges and their unborn baby sibling, Miss Penelope Lumley takes a seaside holiday in the hope of gaining answers from an aging mariner.
