This book is part of a series focusing on a group of boys from Putnam Hall, a military academy. The narrative centers around the adventures of young cadets, particularly Jack Ruddy and Pepper Ditmore, as they navigate rivalries, escapades, and deeper mysteries involving local lore and personal challenges against the backdrop of their upcoming encampment. At the start of the story, Jack and Pepper find themselves trapped in the belfry of a church after a prank goes awry, which leads them to suspect that they have been victimized by a bully, Reff Ritter, and his friends. As they try to escape, they disclose their camaraderie and individual personalities, amid hints of prior conflicts and the ongoing tension with Ritter. Their misadventures set the stage for the unfolding mysteries of the encampment, along with the introduction of a new character, Bert Field, whose connections to the enigmatic Jabez Trask and the haunted old mill hint at further challenges for the cadets. The opening chapter effectively establishes the blend of humor, adventure, and camaraderie that characterizes the series. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
