It's Jess's thirteenth birthday. She's been in bed for nearly a year, the result of a car accident that killed her father. Surprisingly, she finds a birthday present from her father, an unusual gift for a girl and one which she, her grandfather, and her mother, puzzle over. In the course of playing with it she discovers that it has some highly-unexpected properties. But then, purely by accident, she discovers its most amazing feature. She wonders how she can use this for the benefit of the world, but a villainous redhead steals the 'machine'and captures and imprisons Jess. But Jess is able to circumvent her difficulties and come up with a particularly appropriate counter strategy, aided by a phlegmatic police sergeant and his retinue of puppies. Miss Sturzen is arrested and taken away, but escapes and returns to wreak mortal revenge on Jess, using a day and night machine. Unfortunately for her, however, things don't quite go to plan. And then we discover the real reason for Jess's father's gift.
