The World of Hullabaloo takes place in a parallel universe in which our technological advances, past customs and culture cross paths and are offset by about 100 years.
It is a world on the shift between use of steam power and electrical power with electro-plated dirigibles and hybrid steam-powered/combustion engine "motorized carriages".
The story centers around a young woman named Veronica Daring who is the daughter of an innovative and highly regarded engineer and scientist. She returns from an elite finishing school to find that the world she expected to come home to is nothing like she expected.
Her father, Mr. Jonathan Daring, is nowhere to be found and all that is left behind for her is their family home and an abandoned and dilapidated amusement park called 'Daring Adventures' that Mr. Daring built as a front to test out his latest ideas and contraptions.
Veronica finds that a young woman is flopping in her father's abandoned theme park. Her name is "Jules" and she is quite a peculiar sort as her "social graces" are carried out in a very different manner than what Veronica is accustomed to, or even what anyone is accustomed to. She mentions things that have no point-of-reference or even seem to exist but yet she also seems to be very well educated. When asked where she comes from, Jules conveniently dodges the question. Regardless, Veronica is intrigued by her and accepts her living on the premises and they quickly become good friends.
Despite her father's coveted discoveries, there are those who have fashioned lofty inventions of their own and use it for adverse personal gain and personify themselves as super-villain types.
She wants to make a difference but is left without trusted guidance or direction.
Veronica is determined to match wits with these evil sorts and finds inspiration in her father's creed that the use of technology should be for good and the benefit of all mankind. With the help of her new friend, Jules and her brash sense of being, Veronica is able to step-up her game by inventing an alter-ego.
By day, she's a conservative socialite. By night, she's the frolicking, goggled-crusader known as "Hullabaloo"!
Through her heroic escapades, she eventually learns of the events that may have contributed to her father's disappearance.
It is discovered that her father was on the brink of developing a new, alternative source of immense power that has the potential to change their world. She sets out on an expedition that pits her against ruthless airship pirates and even takes her to a remote island inhabited by a wild array of magnificent mechanized animals, all in an effort to find Mr. Daring before his ultimate secret falls into the wrong hands!
