When their owners, the Palmers, leave for vacation the dolls decide to go exploring. They discover a mysterious package that arrived addressed to the Palmer’s great grandfather from more than one hundred years ago. When Annabelle and Tiffany go to visit the package, they hear a little voice coming out of the box. They think there is a doll inside of it. Annabelle begins to wonder if it could be her long lost sister who actually never arrived years ago. They decided to go tell Annabelle’s parents about the package and try to convince them that they need to open it because they believe it could be her long lost baby sister. They do not believe Annabelle and will not go to the package. Annabelle and Tiffany decide to sneak back down and open the package.
