Plot

Nancy meets the Fontaines, refugees from the fictional country of Centrovia, who run a dance school in River Heights. The Fontaines receive threats from a mysterious assailant, and Nancy offers to help, but then the Fontaines disappear. Nancy begins her search for them and becomes involved in a mystery involving a pair of scarlet dance slippers, a painting, and missing jewels. There are many people pretending to be friends of the Fontaines, but Nancy does not know if they are lying.
