Daisy Pulls it Off is an effectionate, keenly observed paroday of life in an English boarding school for girls in 1927. The plucky heroine Daisy Meredith, an elementary school girl, is forced to face and overcome snobbish prejudice from her jealous schoolgirl rivals. Daisy excels as much on the hockey-pitch as in the classroom. Yet she is still bounding with enough energy to search for the missing treasure that would save the fortunes of her beloved Grangewood School, all with th help of her best chum, the irrespressible madcap Trixie Martin.
