The work intertwines elements of adventure and romance, centering around various characters, including General Trednoke and Professor Meschines, as they engage in spirited conversations and reminiscences. At the core of the narrative is the mysterious daughter of a deceased woman, Grace Parsloe, who is expected to visit them soon, potentially igniting relationships and conflicts that explore themes of class, ambition, and the past. The opening of the story introduces readers to a sultry setting under the Southern California sun, where intellectual discussions dominate the conversations between the professor and the general. Their banter serves to explore reflections on social status, personal history, and the fate of a young woman, Grace Parsloe, whose life as a shop-girl starkly contrasts her mother's past. The characters' dialogue reveals hints about unclaimed treasures tied to a significant Aztec legacy, setting the stage for deeper explorations of identity and heritage. Through the vibrant interactions and humorous debates, the stage is set for forthcoming encounters, particularly involving the mysterious Indian figure, Kamaiakan, who knows secrets about the past. The opening cleverly lays the foundation for evolving relationships, potential romance, and unfolding mystery in the narrative to come.
