Description

A group of high‑school friends in the small town of Clintonia spend their free time tinkering with radios, swapping jokes, and dreaming of grand inventions. Their enthusiasm for the new technology has already led them into several daring escapades—winning contests, exposing crooks, and even sending a lifesaving message from a sinking boat. When a mysterious midnight transmission crackles over the airwaves, the boys feel the pull of a real‑world mystery that could test their skills like never before.

Eager to prove that radio isn’t just a hobby, they race to the remote Mountain Pass, where the faint signal seems to be a plea for help from a stranded traveler. With their makeshift equipment, quick wit, and a healthy dose of camaraderie, the boys set out to decode the call and see whether their youthful ingenuity can turn a simple broadcast into a heroic rescue. The adventure blends the wonder of early radio science with the timeless excitement of teenage friendship.
