After preparing a disastrous meal for Lord Koo-Kooface, the chairman of the board of trustees sends the French schoolgirl Madeline and her classmates to the best cooking school in France to learn the tricks of the trade from Chef Flambe. Before long, the girls learn to create croissants, soufflés, and beef Wellington. Struck with compassion for some hungry children she encounters, Madeline gives away her cooking school test project. It takes Miss Clavel to figure out what happened to the missing meal and to set things right. The program is based on the book series by Ludwig Bemelmans and is narrated by Christopher Plummer. ~ Sally Barber, Rovi
