A Desperate Struggle with a Ruthless GangIt is 1954, and Wilton Carnbruck is working to convert a closed U.S. Naval Airbase into a camping and outdoor resort. A gang of criminals is working against him, threatening his life and vandalizing the base. There's a rumor of Nazi gold from a submarine captured during WWII but deeper secrets are driving the action. Wilton turns to Freddy Watkins, the son of an old friend, for help. Freddy and his friends jump into the fray, outwit the gang and resolve all mysteries.

"The Navy recovered gold from a captured Nazi submarine. It disappeared from the base. It was all hush-hush and never made the news, but the locals working on the base knew about it. The thieves almost got away but died when their plane crashed. The gold wasn't in the plane. Everyone thinks it's hidden on the base, but it has never been found."
