The story revolves around the experiences of Jack Brady, a boy navigating the social dynamics at Brincliffe School, which features a peculiar rivalry between day boys and boarders. As tensions rise, themes of camaraderie, conflict, and the quest for acceptance emerge, creating a lively backdrop for Jack's adventures. The opening of the story introduces Jack and his fellow new day pupils, who are quickly ostracized by the established boarders at Brincliffe School. Initial humor arises when a lunch basket filled with bread-pills turns into a catalyst for conflict, prompting the day boys to retaliate. We see Jack interact with his peers, trying to mediate tensions and maintain friendships amid unprovoked hostility. The situation escalates as it becomes clear that the introduction of day boys has disrupted the status quo, leading to a looming "school war." This sets the stage for a series of humorous yet insightful events that explore the themes of loyalty, bullying, and the struggle for belonging.
