The story centers around two boys, Ted and Hubert, who embark on a quest to find a Christmas tree in the snowy Georgia landscape, only to find themselves lost in the treacherous Okefinokee Swamp. Their misadventures lead them to encounter draft-dodgers hiding from the war, shifting the narrative towards themes of bravery, duty, and the moral implications of avoiding military service. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Ted and Hubert as they prepare for a snowy Christmas by venturing into the woods for a tree. Their playful sledding unexpectedly lands them in a pit, where they must devise an escape plan. The opening chapters not only establish the boys' resourcefulness but also provide insight into their contrasting characters: Ted is adventurous and driven, inclined to act while Hubert tends to be more cautious and fearful. This dynamic sets the stage for their deeper exploration of the swamp, where they eventually learn of the slackers hiding there, leading to moral dilemmas that frame their adventure in a context of wartime responsibility.
