The adventure begins when Kay Harker, returning home for the Christmas school holidays, meets two clergymen on his train,
who subsequently pick his pocket. He then happens to meet an old Punch and Judy man at the station. The old man asks Kay
to look after his Box of Delights, a mystical device with many magical powers.
Unbeknownst to Kay, the two clergymen are in the employ of Abner Brown, an evil man who seeks the Box of Delights for himself, and although he finds their behaviour odd, he has no reason to suspect their real intentions...
