A crew of young wireless operators join a wealthy patron's private yacht to search the South Pacific for his missing brother and a famed pearl. Their voyage moves from open-ocean storms and a derelict schooner to island shores and dense jungle, where wireless communication, quick thinking, and seamanship are tested. They face maritime hazards including sharks and shipwreck, hostile rivals and betrayals, capture and daring rescues, and encounters with wildlife such as pythons and giant spiders, until a persistent search and resourcefulness bring the mystery to a resolution.
