Three brothers set out on a pleasure cruise on the Great Lakes that becomes a sequence of perilous adventures after a sudden storm sends one brother overboard and rivals seize the chance to abduct him. The narrative follows their efforts to search and rescue across lakes and rivers, encounters with lumber rafts and hidden enemies, captures and escapes, and a tense pursuit to a remote island where an underground cave, snakes, and a concealed secret are revealed. Along the way shifting alliances and resourceful daring lead to the resolution and the party's return home.
