Description

Set along the Pacific coast in the early 20th century, this adventure novel follows two young boys, Joe Duncan and Blake Stewart, who work as moving picture operators. The protagonists aim to film exciting and potentially dangerous scenes in various locations, often requiring them to confront natural and human hazards. Accompanied by their cowboy guide, Hank Selby, they handle challenges such as capturing footage of Moqui Indians and dealing with hostile groups. The narrative combines elements of adventure, exploration, and young ingenuity, reflecting the period's fascination with filmmaking and frontier life.

The story begins after the boys complete filming dangerous scenes involving Native American groups and are returning to civilisation, discussing plans for future productions. Throughout their travels, they encounter perilous situations that test their resourcefulness and bravery, illustrating the hazards faced by early filmmakers and adventurers in remote settings. The novel is part of Victor Appleton’s series aimed at young readers interested in adventure and exploration during the early 1900s.
