The story revolves around the Mercer boys—Jim, Don, and their friend Terry, who are cadets at the Woodcrest Military Institute. As they embark on a camping trip near Rustling Ridge, the group faces a series of mysterious and thrilling occurrences, including a ghost, a horse stampede, and a dangerous fire, which promise to entertain young readers with a blend of humor and suspense.  The opening portion sets the scene for the boys' summer camp, highlighting their excitement and camaraderie as they prepare for their first day.

Amidst these antics, the group eagerly anticipates the adventures ahead, including a whisper about the ghost of Rustling Ridge. The stage is set for the unfolding mystery that intertwines their camp experiences with ghostly legends.
