| Summary | "The Boy Scouts with the Motion Picture Players" by Robert Shaler is an adventurous children's novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a group of Boy Scouts, led by the capable Hugh Hardin, as they embark on a hiking trip to investigate a mysterious and reportedly haunted castle known as Randall's Folly. As the story unfolds, the boys encounter various challenges and decide to make the most of their weekend adventure, ultimately leading them to cross paths with an unexpected group of motion picture actors filming in the area. The opening of the book introduces the five main characters—Hugh, Alec, Billy, Arthur, and Monkey—who are excitedly hiking through the woods. They share stories and discuss their purpose for the trip, which includes investigating the peculiar ruins of the castle and possibly taking photos for Alec's wealthy aunt. As they draw closer to the castle, they discover mysterious footprints, leading to the anticipation of adventure. Their journey takes a surprising turn when they witness a commotion around the castle, which they initially mistake for trouble, only to find that it is a lively film crew creating an action scene. This intriguing blend of scouting, mystery, and the film industry sets the stage for a thrilling and entertaining story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
