This narrative follows the youthful protagonists Frank and Harry Chester, alongside their friend, the reporter Billy Barnes, as they prepare for an audacious expedition in search of ivory in Africa.

At the start of the story, the boys are busy assembling their gear for the journey in a garage turned workshop, showcasing their adventurous spirit as they ready themselves for the African expedition. The narrative quickly introduces their aim to rescue ivory stolen by a rival trader, leading to clashes with both local threats and cunning adversaries. As they prepare to leave, an unexpected letter calls them to a meeting with a mysterious ivory importer named Luther Barr, hinting at further complexities in their quest and setting the stage for a series of challenges and encounters.
