The story revolves around a group of boys from Scranton High, led by the determined and genial Hugh Morgan, as they embark on various adventures, including nut collecting and training for an upcoming athletic competition.

As they gather walnuts and chestnuts, they discuss their training for a looming athletic tournament, particularly a challenging fifteen-mile Marathon race.

As they explore the woods, the tension rises with tales of strange noises and the presence of otherboys, particularly Nick Lang and his companions, who may have their own ulterior motives, adding an air of mystery and competition to the tale.
