Gymnastics school teacher Caroline Trewella inherits a house on the Cornwall coast.  In the basement/smuggler's cave, she discovers mermaid Miranda.  The young women share a common ancestor and are remarkably alike in looks.

While Caroline is away on a bicycling tour, Miranda has fun taking her place on land.  With the help of her friend, Nurse Carey, Miranda feigns an injury that keeps her wheelchair-bound—or more often needing to be carried by a man.  And the ever flirtatious Miranda certainly knows how to attract all the men of the village!
