The story centers around David Evans, a resourceful young boy determined to improve his family's struggling situation by trapping quails. The narrative delves into themes of family, ambition, and rivalry, particularly highlighting David's interactions with his indolent brother Dan and the brash newcomer Lester Brigham, who threatens David's plans. At the start of the novel, David grapples with the fallout from his father's reckless behavior during the war and the struggles of keeping his family afloat. His father’s absence leaves the burden of responsibility on David and his mother, as they try to piece together a living amid financial hardships. The opening chapters introduce David's determination to capture quails for a lucrative order while navigating the conflicts posed by Dan, who desires a share of the potential earnings, and Lester, who seeks to sabotage David's efforts. The challenges that arise set the stage for a blend of adventure, loyalty, and the quest for self-sufficiency in a post-war landscape.
