When Tapser goes to visit his cousins, Cowlick, Róisín and Rachel, their imaginations are fired by the story of Hugh Rua, the local highwayman whose ghost, the locals claim, can still be seen galloping along the High Road. Setting out to investigate the story, they find themselves caught up in a tangled web of ghost riders, real spies and smugglers. To catch the smugglers they have to unravel this web, while avoiding the sinister figures of Whaler and Scamp who are even more frightening than the ghost of Hugh Rua!
