Da den forældreløse David Balfour, i tiden efter 1746 og det navnkundige slag ved Culloden, hvor England besejrede den skotske oprørsbevægelse, kommer til skelsår og alder, bliver han sendt til sin onkel Ebenezer på familiegodset Shaws. Onklen viser sig at være en gammel gnier, der vel tager imod ham, men ikke ligefrem med begejstring.Nogle dage efter Davids ankomst tager Ebenezer ham med til en nærliggende større by, hvor han bliver kidnapped og sendt ombord på skibet Covenant. Uden at David ved det, er onkel Ebenezers plan at sende ham til Amerika og få ham solgt som slave, for at slippe for at udlevere Davids retmæssige arv. Planen går for så vidt som den skal, indtil skibet får den skotske vovehals Alan Breck Stewart ombord. David bliver frelst, og i selskab med Alan drager han gennem det skotske højland på stadig flugt for kongetro skotter og engelske soldater på jagt efter tilhængere af "Bonnie Prince Charlie", i et forsøg på at nå tilbage til lavlandet og skaffe sig sin retmæssige arv.Hans oplevelser er ret indgående beskrevet i bogens oprindelige fulde titel, hvor det hedder: "David Balfours erindringer om hans eventyr i året 1751, hvorledes han blev kidnappet og forliste, hans lidelser på en øde ø, hans vandringer i de vilde Højlande, hans bekendtskab med Alan Breck Stewart og andre notoriske jakobitter i højlandet, tilligemed alt hvad han måtte lide af sin onkel Ebenezer Balfour til Shaws."

"Catriona" er "en efterfølger til 'Kidnapped', hvori David Balfour fortsætter sine erindringer om sine eventyr hjemme og udenlands, de ulykkelige hændelser i forbindelse med Appin-mordet, hans besværligheder med rigsadvokat Grant, hans fangenskab på øen Bass Rock, hans rejse i Holland og Frankrig, samt hans særegne forhold til James More Drummond, også kaldet MacGregor, en søn af den navnkundige Rob Roy, og dennes datter Catriona", som det hedder i bogens oprindelige fulde titel.David hen mod slutningen af "Kidnapped" vidne til det såkaldte Appin-mord, hvor "den røde ræv", Colin Roy Campbell af Glenure bliver myrdet af en ukendt gerningsmand. De engelske myndigheder har udpeget Alan Breck Stewart som morderen, men da denne ikke er til at få fat på, har man fængslet en af hans slægtninge som påstået medvider. David ser det som sin opgave at vidne i sagen og få de to frikendt, men sagen er politisk og det vigtigste for englænderne er at få nogen - hvem som helst - dømt for mordet for at statuere et eksempel. Der er følgelig flere, der ser deres interesse i at forhindre David i at optræde i vidneskranken ...Ved siden af denne handling finder man desuden Davids forskellige oplevelser med kvindekønnet, ikke mindst den knibske og voldsomt charmerende Catriona Drummond.

I efteråret 1845 går Charles Stuart i land på Skotlands kyster med det formål at styrte Englands konge George II. På slottet Durrisdeer sidder den gamle lord Durie og hans to sønner - den hidsige og stædige James (titlens stamherre) og den mere afdæmpede og praktisk indstillede Henry - som er noget i tvivl om, hvem der vinder, og hvem det derfor vil være mest fordelagtigt i længden at holde sig til. De ender med den tilsyneladende salomoniske løsning, at den ene søn skal tilslutte sig "Bonnie Prince Charlie" og hans invasionshær, mens den anden og faderen bliver hjemme på Durrisdeer og erklærer sig for George II.Men i stedet for at sikre familien uanset krigens udfald skaber denne løsning et livslangt fjendskab mellem de to brødre, et eventyrligt og omskifteligt liv for stamherren, og i sidste ende slægtens undergang.

Otto er fyrste i et mikro-fyrstendømme, Grünewald, som er en del af det tyske kejserrige. Han er ikke voldsomt interesseret i sin gerning som fyrste, men vil hellere gå på jagt, og hans hyppige fravær overlader magten i fyrstendømmet til hans onde førsteminister Gondremark og hans intrigante og forfængelige unge kone Amalia Seraphina. De to konspirerer om at sætte Otto fra bestillingen og oprette en republik – naturligvis med førsteministeren som præsident.På en af sine jagtture kommer Otto tilfældigt til at overnatte hos nogle jævne undersåtter, som ikke genkender ham, og kommer derved under vejr med, hvor upopulær og latterlig han er i folkets øjne, at hans hustru ikke elsker ham særlig højt, og at hans minister planlægger ikke blot en revolution, men også en krig mod det lige så diminutive naboland Gerolstein.Otto er desperat, men da han opdager, at han trods alt stadig elsker Seraphina, tackler han sagen - med hjælp fra en vis grevinde von Rosen ("en dame, der er ude over sin bedste alder og har et stærkt medtaget rygte") – på en for den tids fyrster noget utraditionel måde.
