It's World War II and London isn’t safe. The five Dawson children are evacuated to the coast to stay at the large home of Eggin-Drake, Minister of Information. They're thrown in amongst all sorts of characters - from the dishevelled Home Guard and air-raid wardens to the surly gamekeeper and the retired sea captain. It soon becomes apparent to the children that there is a spy in their midst. Determined to investigate, they head down to the Quay and snoop around the smugglers’ caves. But who is the spy? Can their plan be foiled before it's too late? And just what IS the strange secret about the JAM?
Join Duggie, Billy and Rosie as they head the investigation in this lively, dramatic mystery production with an exciting script and seven fantastic songs.
But don't breathe a word about it to anyone else.

There are 43 speaking parts in total. To reduce the number of speaking parts to 34, have just two village evacuees, two Mums and two air-raid wardens and split the lines accordingly. With alteration of the script you could reduce the speaking parts further by having fewer land girls and just one Eggin-Drake daughter. The cast size can easily be increased by adding more non-speaking evacuees, Mums, air-raid wardens and Home Guard.
