A teenage wireless operator and the members of his camp wireless club organize a secret patrol after news of leaked naval movements raises suspicions of spies. They set up a concealed wireless outfit in a city lodging, monitor unusual wavelengths, and work to intercept and decipher coded transmissions. The narrative follows their technical troubleshooting, night searches, shifts in ciphers, false leads, and aerial clues as they trace clandestine signals, pursue suspects, and ultimately help identify and capture the covert agents responsible for passing information.
