Lucas has to travel with his uncle. Aboard the Highland Express steam train, he discovers a stowaway. Does she know something about the precious jewels that are disappearing everywhere? Or is there more to it?

Alex really doesn't need his uncle as a babysitter, but he still has to join the travel journalist on the final journey of the Highland Express steam train. The British Royal Family is also along for the ride. Then Alex discovers a stowaway on board. Does she have something to do with the precious jewels that are disappearing, or is there more to it?
