This story follows a group of enthusiastic Boy Scouts, primarily led by Ned Nestor, who embark on a mission to help thwart a dangerous plot against the Gatun Dam in the Panama Canal Zone. The book is heavy on action, camaraderie, and the themes of patriotism, with a focus on the resourcefulness and bravery of young scouts who get caught up in a national intrigue. The opening of the narrative introduces the Black Bear Patrol, a group of scouts excited about their next adventure after a recent excursion in Mexico. They are eager to accompany Lieutenant Gordon on a secret mission tied to suspicious activities in the Canal Zone. As they prepare for the trip, discussions arise regarding a potential threat to the Gatun Dam, leading to speculation about who could be behind such a dangerous plot. The tone quickly escalates to one of urgency as they learn of a theft involving Frank Shaw's valuable emerald necklace, prompting them to engage in a mystery that intertwines their adventures with espionage and suspense.
