A sporting goods store offers a prize of a complete archery set for the organization that puts on the best play. Den 1 and Den 2 plan to put on a play as a joint effort in hopes of winning the prize. The Cubs decide to put on a production of Robin Hood and receive permission from Mr. Kain, who works for the bank, to use a property known as the Haunted Castle as the setting for their production. All appears to be going well until the Cubs are accused by Mr. Kain of breaking a window and setting a fire. Mr. Kain orders them to pay for damages or leave the property. The Cubs have seen someone hiding in the bushes on the property, but since they have no proof, they pay Mr. Kain so that they may continue to work on the play. As the Cubs finish working on their play, they investigate the bank\'s property, hoping to meet the trespasser and prove their innocence of any wrongdoing. In time, the Cubs learn the identity of the trespasser and exonerate themselves. Additionally, they help a new friend become a Cub Scout.

The Cubs of Den 2 face their biggest crisis after they are accused of vandalizing an old church. Dan admits that he and another Cub are responsible for accidentally breaking a window and offers to pay for the damage, but the caretaker, Old Terry, refuses to accept the money and states that they did thousands of dollars in damage to the building in addition to breaking the window. Dan and the other Cubs are angered, as they know they did not wreck the church. The owners of the church file a lawsuit against the organization for $20,000 in damages. Even worse, the boys\' reputation is at stake as many people believe the false rumors. The Cubs feel disgraced and have no way of proving their innocence. The Cubs suspect that hooligan Pat Oswald and his gang are responsible for the damage to the church. Pat and his cohorts constantly harass the Cubs and make fun of them. Whenever the vandalism of the church is mentioned, Pat smirks but refuses to admit to anything. Finally, Pat has a change of heart and admits to his role in the misdeed. Pat and his friends resolve to become honest and loyal. They plan to create a Cub Scouts den of their own so that they can also be members of a great organization.

Fed by rampant streams to the north, the swollen waters gradually had nibbled away the sandy beach. The boat, tied securely the night before, now pounded against the dock on a slack rope. While Dan retied it, Sam Hatfield pushed away a floating log which had lodged against the dock post. “River’s up another four inches,” he observed gloomily. “And now, more rain.” “Think we ought to call it quits?” “That’s for the fellows to decide,” Mr. Hatfield replied. “It was swell of Midge’s father to let us use this place. It’s almost like having a regular camp. “The Cubs sure appreciate it. But they’re fed up with the weather. Another day of this and we’ll be sprouting webs on our feet. “What’s your thought, Dan? Do we stick, or shall we call enough—enough?” “I hate to be a quitter. It’s easy enough to trot home to our folks. I’d say, let’s hang on another day the way we planned. Maybe the weather man will give us a break.” “Good,” said Mr. Hatfield in relief. “I was hoping you’d say that, Dan. The question is, will the other Cubs agree?” “They’re all good sports. If only we could swim or hike, everything would be swell.”
