The story

In the summer of 1917, the Butterworth children (11-year-old Robert, 14-year-old Cyril, 10-year-old Jane, 12-year-old Anthea and 2-year-old The Lamb), whose father has gone to fight in World War I, are evacuated from London to stay with their eccentric Uncle Albert, his housekeeper Martha, and unpleasant son, Horace. While exploring the house, Robert finds a locked door in the forbidden greenhouse and brings the other children. They manage to open the door, which leads them through a secret path to the beach surrounding the house.
