K jezeru na anglickém venkově přijíždí opět po roce strávit báječné letní prázdniny čtveřice dětí - Vlaštovky. Společnost jim mají dělat dvě místní dívky - Amazonky. Ze začátku se nic nedaří podle plánu. Amazonky nemohou tábořit na ostrově Divokých koček, protože na návštěvu přijela prateta a tak místo dobrodružných pirátských výprav musí být nastrojené ve svátečních šatech. A aby toho nebylo málo, Vlaštovky nešťastně ztroskotají a přijdou tak o svou loď. Žádná nesnáz ale nemůže porazit děti s fantazií a odhodláním.

Společně vyplouvají se strýčkem Jimem alias kapitánem Flintem ve škuneru Divoká kočka na moře, protože Petr Kachna ví, kde je uložen poklad.
