Along with his friend Howard Critchfield, Burt embarks on a journey that promises thrill but also danger as they encounter the challenges and wonders of Africa. The opening portion of the book introduces Burt, a diligent student eager for adventure, as he sits down to dinner with his family. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Burt’s uncle, George, who brings vivid tales of his past explorations.

As George and Burt's excitement builds, George eventually secures permission for both boys to come along on the expedition.
