The story revolves around Nick Carter, a renowned detective who is tasked with infiltrating a criminal syndicate led by a mysterious figure known as Hobo Harry. As he takes on the guise of a hobo himself, the narrative explores themes of deception, identity, and the complexities of crime. At the start of the narrative, we meet Nick Carter and his three assistants, who have decided to become hoboes to track down Hobo Harry, the so-called King of the Yeggmen, responsible for orchestrating an extensive network of robberies. In a strategic move, they plan to integrate themselves into the hobo community to gather information.
