The Beaver Patrol arrives at the Pine Cone Girl Scout Camp to learn that a mix-up has caused them to temporarily lose their tent, resulting in cramped quarters in a smaller tent. The Scouts soon find a solution to their problem after Judy Grant receives a letter from her Aunt Mattie, who wants Judy to find her a place to stay. The girls rent Calico Cottage at a low price and decide to stay in it until Aunt Mattie arrives.
The girls soon find that the low price was too good to be true when they discover that the cottage is haunted! At night, the girls hear thumps from the basement and the sound of a flute. The girls investigate the basement but find no clue to what has caused the noises. Even stranger, the basement has an unusual odor and drafts of air that come from an unknown source.
Judy is deeply concerned that the noises will frighten Aunt Mattie when she arrives. As the girls investigate the mystery of Calico Cottage, they run into smugglers and find themselves in danger. The apprehension of the smugglers and the solution to the mystery at Calico Cottage provide many suspense-filled moments for the Beaver Patrol.
