| Summary |
"Frank Merriwell's Athletes; Or, The Boys Who Won" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Frank Merriwell and his friends from Yale College, who embark on adventures filled with excitement and danger, as they traverse from New York to San Francisco. The narrative highlights themes of friendship, bravery, and the pursuit of justice as the boys find themselves in various predicaments, from witnessing a Chinese play to confronting shady figures trying to thwart them. The opening of the novel introduces Frank Merriwell and his companions as they arrive in Chinatown, where they are overwhelmed by the chaotic and noisy atmosphere of a Chinese theater. Their adventure takes a turn for the dramatic when they come to the aid of an old friend, Barney Mulloy, just as he faces an unexpected confrontation with a Chinaman in the theater. As tensions escalate, the group is thrust into a series of thrilling events, leading to a brawl and their escape into the streets. This initial chapter sets the stage for camaraderie among the friends and establishes Frank as a character determined to stand by his allies, laying the foundation for the adventures that follow in their quest to help their friend Inza, who is entangled in a dangerous situation with a lord intent on forcing a marriage.
