Gun runners have been hiding rifles in a nearby cave, and it’s up to jack Armstrong and his friends to help overthrow their plot. With word already sent to the army, all that remains is to hide in the cave with the captured Lieutenant Rawlings.
When Jack realizes he lost his prized pedometer, hostile natives are on the way. Despite the risk, he and Billy run back and get the prized gadget. How close are those pursuing warriors? Is there time to return to safely hide in the small cave opening?
Betty is worried, but Jack assures her that their old rival, Yates and the tribes men have not picked up on their trail. Peeking through the bushes outside the cave, Jack and his friends can watch the activities outside. Uncle Jim guards the opening, wild Jack and Billy explore deeper into the dark cave. How far will they have to go to meet up with the large tunnel where the rifles are stored? Will there be other side tunnels to have to worry about? When they hear footsteps in front of them, will this mean the end of them?
