An enterprising schoolboy and his friends investigate a puzzling crime that imperils a generous patron. Clues lead from campus thefts to a jewelry works and then to voyages south, including a stop near Barbados and an isolated cave island. They explore hidden caverns, endure a violent hurricane, uncover a surprising connection involving Merwell, and pursue suspects in a dramatic sea chase. The mystery is gradually unraveled through discoveries, revelations, and confrontations, and the schoolboy group returns home after the danger is resolved.
