Aquilina is a clever, courageous, and imaginative girl who leads a group of orphans in a recently abandoned wild west town. The town should belong to a kindly if wooly headed widow who can’t find the deed. When three mysterious strangers appear to rescue the orphans and start a pie making business it looks like the orphans' luck has finally changed. But while the other kids take these kind strangers to heart, Aquilina remains mistrustful and starts to poke her nose into the truth. She discovers that two of the strangers belong to a vicious gang, and are about to sell all the orphans into servitude and take the town for themselves. They’ve also kidnapped a young girl and threaten do harm to the widow. Aquilina, with the help of the young kidnapped girl, tricks the strangers into revealing themselves, and uses her wits and a lemon cream pie to outsmart the gang and save the town.
