Charlie Chase, an amiable, wisecracking, somewhat mixed-up boy was spending more time in the principals' office than in the classroom. Staying with his grandparents until a family situation was straightened out, he saw no reason to exert himself in school or out of it because he was only a visitor. However, he became involved in things when his friend George confessed that the principal insisted he join a team sport such as soccer, though his real love was riding, and when class funds for a New York trip were stolen. For these problems Charlie had two suggestions: George could get up a fox hunt for his team sport, and once this was done, they could hunt for the box of stolen money. How an enthusiastic hunt, mounted on several horses and two bicycles, was organized, and how Charlie participated though he first had to get a horse and learn to ride, makes a splendid story.
