It follows the adventures of two cousins, Johnny and Lawrence, living in the Matanuska Valley of Alaska, as they engage in various pursuits, including catching exotic animals alive and aiding the Coast Guard against suspicious activities along the coast. The narrative blends themes of adventure, wildlife, and youthful ambition against a backdrop of the rugged and captivating Alaskan wilderness.
