Upon arriving home, her father, Walter, tells her that strange events have been occurring, resulting in a loss of clientele. Due to the declining business, he may be forced to sell the hotel. Polly, who is an avid photographer, decides to investigate the mysterious events.
While investigating, Polly meets a tenant, Diogenes Chase, who offers to help her find the source of the disturbances. As a former teacher, he encourages her to follow the clues, and use her problem solving skills.
The Haunting of Harrington House was the second of five installments of The CBS Children’s Mystery Theatre. It was preceded by The Clue According To SHERLOCK HOLMES. The intent of the series was to teach children problem solving skills, specifically, the use of deductive reasoning.[5]
