Ken is joined by his friends, Dick Leslie and Jim Williams, as they patrol the forest and protect it from poachers and other threats. As the story unfolds, Ken falls in love with a young woman, who is visiting the area with her father. Nellie's father is a wealthy businessman who is interested in buying up large tracts of land in the area, including the forest where Ken works. Ken becomes torn between his love for Nellie and his duty to protect the forest from her father's plans. Throughout the novel, Ken and his friends encounter many dangers, including wildfires, dangerous animals, and treacherous terrain.
