Elisa takes Candy to the city, but only to be a carrier. Elisa abandons her there, but Candy meets Alistair who helps her to come back home very quickly despite some adventures. Candy is invited to the party that welcomes Aunt Elroy who is going to live here (and at which she hopes to find her prince), but only because of her new friends.

At the party, Elisa makes fun of Candy's outfit, but her friends put on casual clothes to support her. During Aunt Elroy's speech, Archibald makes Candy laugh, which brings shame on her. Archibald and Alistair make her a dress, and she gets a dance with Anthony at Elisa's expense.

Unhappy with Candy's performance, the Legrands move her to the barn, but Sister Maria and John come to visit her, so she must keep up appearances, despite Elisa's protests. But the visitors discover the truth and Sister Maria gives her recommendations. Anthony, in compensation for Candy's difficult life, promises her a special rose for her birthday.

An incident reveals that the prize of the rodeo was a calf. Unable to keep it, Anthony leaves with Candy to find a way to get rid of it before managing to sell it to Tom's father.

This young man goes from tears to laughter as Candy approaches him and makes fun of her. Archibald and Alistair come to pick her up and want to take Klint to the zoo because he will not be allowed to go to college. He runs away and is almost killed by a hunter. She goes to the hotel where she thinks she will meet Uncle William, but she finds this young man, Terrence, from a big family.

Candy departs for Lakeweood together with her raccoon Klint. She hitches a ride with Tom and his father Mr. Steave on their wagon. Mr. Steave expresses his doubts about the Leagans and advises Candy to be strong and never cry. From the very moment of her arrival, Candy is the victim of the nasty pranks by the Leagan children, Neil and Eliza.

Candy now lives at the Ardley estate, together with the Cornwell brothers and Anthony and a closet full of dresses given by great-aunt Elroy. Neil and Eliza still try to persist in their lies and accusations, embarrassing great-aunt and provoking Anthony and the Cornwell brothers to remind them that Candy is a member of the family. When they make Neil beg on his knees for forgiveness, Candy stops them: without their deception, she would not have been sent to Mexico and Grandfather William would not have adopted her to save her.

To get back at Candy, Elisa takes Anthony into the woods and causes an accident with Tom who is carrying milk. Anthony brings Elisa, injured, back home, then fights with Tom who called him a coward. For this, Anthony is punished and confined in a castle in the woods with a ban on contacting Candy, who would have a bad influence on him.

Candy spends her time moping at Pony's house, so Jimmy, a newbie, doubts her status as a leader and is unpleasant with her. Then he challenges her to running and climbing, ignoring that Candy excels in these disciplines. She wins, earning his esteem.

Candy shows her altruism on the boat that takes her to England: she treats a seagull and then supports the captain who wants to deviate from his course to save shipwrecked people while the influential passengers are opposed to it. But her stubbornness and her good heart make them change their minds, so a party is organized for the captain who risked his place. On the rail, she sees a young man who looks like Anthony.

The Ardley's got permission to go out this Sunday and see Aunt Elroy, but Candy didn't request it, so she has to stay. So she joins Terrence at the hill. Then Mr. Brighton takes her to see the horse races and tells her that Annie is coming.

The Brightons visit the Legrands, but Annie must not show that she knows Candy. She is offered a horseback ride, but a trick by Daniel and Elisa wraps up the horse, and Candy must go to Annie's rescue, who shows her friendship by giving her a ribbon.

The day before leaving for Mexico, Candy wishes to say farewell to Anthony, but instead witnesses how Anthony denounces his great-aunt when she orders her cousins never to play with the "thief" Candy. It does Candy's heart much good that all three believe in her, but she does not want Anthony to lose his family over her. She will go to Mexico and write him each day.

Candy declines Mr. Cartwright's offer. She feels the vocation of becoming a teacher, but George comes to seek her. She runs away in the rain with Jimmy, who is already sick and whose condition is getting worse. She is finally not mature enough to be a teacher, but watches over Jimmy until he recovers, then leaves with George.
