A grumpy rich hermit vs. a sunshine teacher and 20 chaotic kids. What could go wrong?

Soon the longed-for peace will be over, because in the immediate vicinity a home for little-wealthy holiday children will be opened in an empty house, which will be headed by the cheerful and optimistic teacher Miss Helm.
