Dory Dornwood, a capable young boatman on Lake Champlain, takes command of the sailboat Goldwing and gathers a club of boys around her. A growling passenger, a robbery at the hotel, a boat with a bad reputation and a man peering through a keyhole draw the boys into a mystery while they learn seamanship and self-command.
