The Australian bush creatures are Miss Mollys friends and neighbors. She has come to their rescue many times when they have needed her help, but this time, Miss Molly is to have a surprise! She discovers that she has more friends than she expected and they are ready to help also.

Molly and her dad rescue three people in trouble from a small boat off the coast. Though they speak different languages, the new arrivals quickly make friends with the islanders, who offer them somewhere to stay and some clothes and food. Just a few weeks later, a new challenge threatens this relationship, but will Molly and the islanders be able to help their new friends?
