At the start of the story, readers find the Rover boys at Brill College, engaged in a lively game of baseball with their friends. The scene is light-hearted, filled with playful banter and competitive spirit. However, as the narrative unfolds, an alarming event occurs—a fire breaks out on a river steamer carrying seminary girls to a picnic, prompting the boys to spring into action and organize a rescue. This incident not only sets the stage for their heroic endeavors but also introduces underlying tensions with an antagonist, Tad Sobber, who seeks to claim the Stanhope fortune.
