Join Madeline, the smallest of twelve little girls in Miss Clavel's class, and her best friend, her loyal dog Genevieve, as they take the fun to town with six outrageous adventures inspired by Ludwig Bemelmans' best selling children's books! Includes six episodes.

Lord Cucuface arrives at the Old House with a large chunk of prize-winning cheese (for fondue) and a new touring car. While Cucuface takes Miss Clavel for a calamitous driving lesson, the mice eat the cheese.

In the middle of the winter holiday season, Miss Clavel gets called away from the Old House to care for her ailing aunt. Lord Cucuface replaces her with Mr. Grump, who is more of a drill sergeant than headmaster.

The American child star Sugar Dimples becomes homesick when visiting Paris, and especially misses Halloween, which is not celebrated in France. At first Sugar Dimples does not appreciate the children's efforts to cheer her up, even when the girls and Pepito turn an abandoned castle into a haunted house.

To raise money to buy Miss Clavel a birthday present, Madeline starts a detective school. Meanwhile, Miss Clavel is receiving mysterious gifts of great value - jewels, a painting, etc. Inspector Moreau discovers they are stolen by the infamous cat burglar Le Chat and arrives to question Miss Clavel.

The newspaper sponsors a treasure hunt leading to a chest full of money. The clues lead the group to famous Paris landmarks, where the girls lose valuable time when they stop to help people in trouble (like a little boy whose sailboat has blown away). When they reach the treasure chest, someone else has arrived there first.

Madeline, the girls, Pepito, and his three naughty cousins go on a field trip to Egypt. Nicole becomes terrified when they experience a series of mishaps - from getting locked in the museum to getting caught in a desert dust storm on camelback. Then the group gets lost in the pyramids and encounters a mummy who speaks to them in an echoey voice and curses them with bad luck!

While on holiday in New York, the girls and Pepito attend a Yankee game, and Madeline catches the first home run ball of the season. A millionaire "rewards" Madeline by giving her the Brooklyn Bridge. Madeline is thrilled until a truck spills peanuts, popcorn and other snacks all over the roadway, causing the detained motorists to become irate. Madeline is given hero status when she donates the bridge to the city, and the girls are equally revered...

Madeline, Pepito and the girls visit Miss Clavel's aunt and nephew in their Alpine chalet. The trip is laden with adventure - from skiing and skating to an abominable snowman sighting. Later, when the group is trapped in the chalet by a terrifying avalanche, it is Madeline's spirit and ingenuity that saves the day.

Madeline, the girls, and Pepito prepare a disastrous meal for Lord Cucuface, who immediately enrolls them for cooking lessons at the famed Cordon Bleu. After various mishaps, the children finally get the hang of French cuisine, but Madeline fails to receive her diploma because she has given her creation to the hungry. In the end, Miss Clavel helps Madeline realize that the satisfaction of helping someone is more rewarding than any blue ribbon could...
