This book is about how in almost every rural community there is a house which some believe to be haunted, such is the old Meeker house in this story. Children passing by it move to the opposite side of the road when they draw near. Stories tell of scenes witnessed and sounds heard in the vacant dwelling. The four go-ahead boys decide to solve the mysteries connected with this house.

American twin brothers, Earl and Leon Platt, experience non-stop adventures as the fight in France during World War I. Together with Jesse Tiger, an Apache soldier, they actively participate in battles, capturing German prisoners and rescuing friends.
