Their excitement escalates when they find an old letter hinting at adventure and buried treasure, setting the stage for a series of thrilling escapades. The opening of the novel introduces the main characters, including Roy Blakeley and Pee-wee Harris, as they sit in a field reflecting on the newly acquired railroad car that will serve as their troop's meeting place.
