The story follows a group of Boy Scouts on a hiking trip through the mountains of North Carolina, specifically the Blue Ridge, where they encounter the wild and rugged landscape as well as the mystery of illicit moonshining. Central characters include Thad Brewster, the patrol leader, and his fellow scouts, including the humorous Step Hen, the tall Giraffe, and the Southern boy Bob White, who has personal stakes in their adventure. The opening portion of the narrative introduces the eight scouts as they embark on their journey, characterized by camaraderie and light-hearted banter. Initial misadventures, such as losing a knapsack and Giraffe getting stuck in quicksand, highlight their playful interactions while foreshadowing the dangers of the wild. As they navigate through the Smoky Range, they become aware of the region's notorious moonshiners, particularly Old Phin, who may pose a threat, given the scouts' uniforms and their previous tensions with local law enforcement. Through the eyes of Bob White, the story hints at deeper tensions and a personal mission tied to his younger cousin, Bertha, and her guardian, providing a foreshadowing of the adventure and challenges that lie ahead.
