AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Peter Flint suspects that the idle and ignorant farm labourer, George Bricker, is an 'escaped convict'. After Bricker is dismissed from the farm, Peter meets the five Worthing children who are pursuing Bricker, who they suspect has stolen jewelery from their father's store. Together, the six children plot to capture Bricker by tricking him into believing he has suffered a snake bite. Bricker is captured with the necklace, but not before he has set fire to the Flint property.
