This story follows a group of boys, particularly Don Gordon, as they embark on duck hunting adventures in Maryland while uncovering the conflicts between sport hunters and poachers. The backdrop of the narrative includes the natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and the thrilling dynamics of their youthful escapades. At the start of the story, Don Gordon and his friends are excitedly staying at Egan's home, eager to hunt waterfowl during the prime season.
