Jessie, along with her friends Amy Drew and Nell Stanley, reveals a lighthearted camaraderie as they discuss summer plans and their fascination with radio technology. The excitement escalates when energetic young Henrietta Haney rushes in to announce her newfound wealth, claiming to own an island. This peculiar claim sets off a series of unexpected scenarios, including a reckless joyride and the worry of their friends. With the plot bubbling with youthful energy and intrigue, the story promises a delightful mix of adventure and humor as the girls embark on their journey to Station Island.
