It follows three enterprising boys—Frank Durham, Randy Powell, and Pepper “Pep” Smith—who try to launch a first-class motion picture playhouse at a bustling seaside resort, balancing daring rescues, business savvy, and looming rivalry.  The opening of the novel finds the boys scouting Seaside Park’s boardwalk, spotting a prime vacant building, and impressing the landlord after Frank leads a swift rescue of passengers from a burning motorboat. Their brave act brings them to the attention of wealthy Mrs. Carrington, whose offered backing—arranged through her attorney—solves their funding hurdle, while her feckless nephew Peter proves a nuisance and potential rival. Old ally Ben Jolly arrives (with ventriloquist Hal Vincent in tow), helps set up frugal living quarters, and the team splits duties: Frank and Vincent go to New York for films and equipment, Jolly to Fairlands for their old gear, and Randy and Pep prepare the venue. A final incident sees Pep heroically saving a runaway baby carriage, injuring his wrist, and being whisked by a millionaire motorist to a Brenton mansion for expert care, while Randy tracks him down—leaving the show’s launch underway but not yet open.
