Then, when their beloved ballet teacher, Miss Finch, suddenly disappears and strange Madame Zelda takes her place, freakish things start happening. Poison letters are circulating around the school, and "accidents" are plaguing the students. It seems that the girls are in danger once more…

Is someone out for the ultimate revenge?

At least the fire turns up a key clue about who started it, but I'll have to continue juggling acting and sleuthing. Because it might be up to me to save this film from going up in flames....
