Trigger John's son, an orphan from Maine is on his way to Beechwood, Pennsylvania, with no intention of letting himself be adopted, sight unseen, by Mr. & Mrs. George Smith. He slips off the train and enters Beechwood, so to speak, by the backway; that is , he falls in with a gang of twelve-year-olds like himself, who think they are far tougher than they are.
