Chums of the Camp Fire

A group of adventurous boys in a small town undertake outdoor pastimes that begin with frog hunting and dares and escalate into a series of connected episodes: a storm scatters a circus and its wild animals into one boy's backyard, prompting humorous chaos and efforts to notify adults; strange pranks and disappearances follow, including a missing primate and a sabotaged ham, while the friends lay traps, outwit antagonists, and uncover a plotted scheme. The episodic narrative ends with a decisive confrontation and a final campfire that resolves loose ends.
