In a sleepy mountain village, the arrival of a coach brings a lively troupe of five young women and their chaperone, all dressed in matching blue serge. They've come to meet Janus Grubb, a peculiar guide known for his green automobile goggles and a reputation for ferrying travelers over the rugged hills. The townsfolk watch with curiosity as the group prepares for a health‑boosting trek into the White Mountains.
Grubb's odd appearance and quiet confidence set an intriguing tone, suggesting that the journey may hold more than scenic walks. The girls—each with her own spark of adventure—are eager to explore the high country, while whispers of a missing pilot linger in the background, hinting at a mystery that could intertwine with their expedition. Listeners will find themselves drawn into the camaraderie, the crisp mountain air, and the subtle suspense that begins to unfold as the party sets off.
