Two teenage aviators are commissioned by a government official to find a missing inventor and the stolen formula for a powerful explosive. They design and build an improved aeroplane, employ wireless telegraphy, and carry out reconnaissance over the tangled Everglades. The story follows their exploration of swamp islands, encounters with hostile men and dangerous wildlife, night alarms and fires, narrow escapes, covert surveillance, and aerial confrontations with a mysterious black aeroplane. Through scouting, daring rescues, and clever tactics the youths uncover hidden camps, expose a plot, and press the secret service assignment to its decisive conclusion.
