James’s Grandmother is hiding the fact that their house is near to foreclosure. After she discovers their hiding place the Clock family of borrowers flee with their possessions, including a gold sovereign that once belonged to James’ grandfather.  Mrs. Driver meets with Professor Mildeye and tells him about the little people. The Clock family arrives at a little people city and hire Spiller with the gold coin to take them to a new home. The professor capture Arrietty’s parents, but she and Spiller get James to assist in a rescue plan. With his help they all escape from Mildeye’s lab.
