Now between their Sophomore and Junior years, Marjorie Wilkinson and her friends set forth on a canoe trip with their beloved Captain, Miss Phillips. Their final destination is Silvertown, much to Ruth Henry's delight. Silvertown is an exclusive resort in which only the wealthiest people vacation; Ruth is thrilled about the opportunities that the vacation will provide. The girls learn that at Silvertown, there will be a canoe race, and the girl who wins will receive a silver cup. Ruth is determined to win, but Marjorie and Frieda are both better canoeists than she. Ruth sends a telegram to her admirer, Harold Mason, to help her prevent Marjorie and Frieda from reaching Silvertown. Harold disguises himself as an old man and kidnaps Marjorie and Frieda! Marjorie and Frieda find themselves unable to escape, and Marjorie worries that she will miss the canoe races. Will Ruth have her way, or will Marjorie and Frieda find a way to free themselves from their captor?
