This adventure story centers around a group of Boy Scouts, particularly the Beaver Patrol, as they embark on a mysterious mission involving the search for two missing boys in an abandoned coal mine. Their journey is filled with suspense and camaraderie as they encounter various dangers and challenges in the depths of the mine, testing their bravery and teamwork. The opening of the story introduces Case Canfield, the caretaker of the Labyrinth mine, who recruits four Boy Scouts—Will Smith, George Benton, Tommy Gregory, and Sandy Green—to help locate the two lost boys, Jimmie Maynard and Dick Thompson.
