At the start of the story, the Pony Rider Boys are setting up their camp in Smoky Pass, exchanging banter and showcasing their spirited personalities. Tad Butler, the leader, demonstrates his skills in tent pitching, while the others, including the comical Chunky, provide comic relief. The initial lightheartedness quickly gives way as the boys prepare for a storm, with Tad predicting trouble ahead.
