A summer camping adventure follows a gang of boys who uncover ransom money sewn into stuffed fish in an abandoned icehouse. After rescuing a kidnapped girl and detaining her captor, they hastily extract packets from the fish while an outboard motor approaches, forcing them to hide and improvise to secure the rest of the ransom. The boys balance fear and daring as they open the fish, conceal their findings, and plan a cautious return to camp, with the episode emphasizing teamwork, quick thinking, and youthful resourcefulness.
