Three eager teens step off a rattling train into the bustling town of Bangor, their knapsacks and rifles slung over sturdy shoulders. Garry Boone, the natural leader, is joined by the ever‑hungry Dick Wallace and quick‑witted Phil Durant, a trio whose friendship has been forged on countless woodland escapades. After a hearty meal with Garry’s father, they gather around a table, eyes bright with the promise of a new adventure that feels just beyond the hotel doors.
Soon they learn that the surrounding forests are under threat from a band of timber thieves who are cutting down trees with reckless abandon. With their hunting gear, sharp instincts, and a deep love for the pine‑covered land, the boys set out to outsmart the poachers and protect the woods they cherish. Listeners will follow their clever plans, daring chases, and the tight‑knit camaraderie that makes every challenge feel like a shared secret.
