Denny Meech is accustomed to being teased at school, especially during hunting season. There was a time many years ago when the Meeches were unruly mountainmen who lived off the land and ignored the game laws. But that was long ago. Now Denny finds himself in the middle of a mystery. Where are those silent flashes of light coming from in the middle of the night? What is Boot, his dog, barking at when Denny can see and hear nothing?

Denny must get to the bottom of this. But how? He convinces Uncle Frank and his cousin Bert to help him, and together they solve the mystery and capture the deer poachers.
