While Tom and his two friends are making plans for a vacation, Carl's father announces that he has acquired a sailboat as part of a business deal.

Their peaceful sailing trip is sabotaged however when they run into a gang of notorious carnival revelers who put on sidewalk shows as a cover for more profitable sidelines. After a confrontation with the gang, the three sailors and Scout find themselves in trouble with the police.
Their attempt to clear themselves leads to a wild chase through rivers, canals, and lakes. When at last he boys come face to face with the gang and its ruthless leader, they are stranded on an island in the middle of an isolated lake. In the showdown they are all alone - except Scout.
