Girls' Crystal #972 is an anthology containing three stories: "Karen and the Boy Prince," in which Daphne Ronson, a girl who has lost her memory after falling from a cliff, is cared for at a schoolgirl camp while friends Bunty Rayner and Pat Simms search for her lost suitcase—which is stolen by a mysterious hooded girl determined to keep Daphne from recovering her memory. "Gaye the Autograph-Hunter," by Janet McKibbin, follows Gaye Biscoe's misadventures when she impersonates a fortune-teller to obtain a Rajah's autograph at a garden fête, leading to complications as she becomes entangled in hiding the Rajah under a tent. The third story, illustrated in black and white, involves schoolgirls Thelma and Tess who hide the key to their school museum in a bathing wrap pocket, leading to a series of escapades including a case of mistaken identity with two English girls and two Dutch children wearing their borrowed clothes.
