I don't think we'd better go home that way, Helen. "Why not? Mr. Bassett won't care-and it's the nearest way to the road." "But he's got a sign up-and his cattle run in this pasture," said Ruth Fielding, who, with her chum, Helen Cameron, and Helen's twin brother, Tom, had been skating on the Lumano River, where the ice was smooth below the mouth of the creek which emptied into the larger stream near the Red Mill. "Aw, come on, Ruthie!" cried Tom, stamping his feet to restore circulation.
A brown dusk filled the long room, for although the windows were shrouded thickly and no lamp burned, some small ray of light percolated from without and made dimly visible the outlines of the company there gathered. The low, quavering notes of an organ sighed through the place. There was the rustle and movement of a crowd. To the neophyte, who had been brought into the hall with eyes bandaged, it all seemed very mysterious and awe-inspiring. Now she was set in a raised place and felt that before her was the company of masked and shrouded figures, in scarlet dominoes like those worn by the two guards who had brought her from the anteroom. The bandage was whisked from her eyes; but she could see nothing of her surroundings, nor of the company before which she stood. “Candidate!” spoke a hollow, mysterious voice somewhere in the gloom, yet sounding so 2 close to her ear that she started. “Candidate! you stand before the membership body of the S. B.’s. You are as yet unknown to them and they unknown to you. If you enter the secret association of the S. B.’s you must throw off and despise forever all ties of a like character. Do you agree?” The candidate obeyed, in so far as she prodded her sharply in the ribs and a shrill voice whispered: “Say you do–gump!” The candidate obeyed, in so far as she proclaimed that she did, at least. “It is an oath,” went on the sepulchral voice. “Remember!” In chorus the assembly immediately repeated, “Remember!” in solemn tones. “Candidate!” repeated the leading voice, “you have been taught the leading object of our existence as a society. What is it?” Without hesitation now, the candidate replied: “Helpfulness.” “It is right. And now, what do our initials stand for?” “Sweetbriar,” replied the shaking voice of the candidate.

Ruth, Helen, and Tom watch a moving picture company film scenes near the Red Mill. As they watch, the starring actress, Hazel Gray, falls into the river and is swept downstream. Ruth and her friends rescue Miss Gray and take her to the Red Mill to recover. The next day, Ruth meets the producer, Mr. Hammond, who promises to read Ruth's scenario when she impulsively confides that she is planning to write one. Soon after the friends return to school, the East Dormitory burns and is a complete loss. All of the girls housed in that building, including Ruth and her friends, lose all of their possessions. It is soon learned that Dr. Tellingham allowed the insurance to lapse, and there is no money to rebuild the dormitory. In the meantime, Ruth submits her scenario to Mr. Hammond and is thrilled when he accepts it. After her scenario is accepted, Ruth gets a wonderful idea about how she can help the school raise money to rebuild the dormitory. In the Italian garden scenes, the seniors and juniors were used. Ruth calls a meeting of all of the students and suggests her idea of writing a moving picture scenario that will be filmed on the campus. The proceeds from the film would go towards rebuilding the dormitory. In this way, all of the girls would contribute to the fund, since they would be the extras in the film. This idea is met with enthusiasm, and Ruth soon gains Mr. Hammond's approval.
Ruth and Helen board a steamer bound for Virginia, where they plan to meet their friend, Nettie Parsons, and her aunt, Mrs. Rachel Parsons, and continue their journey to Mrs. Parsons' plantation in the South. Soon after the boat departs, Ruth reads a letter from Mrs. Smith, the lady with whom they boarded after their dormitory burned, who explains that her grandson, Curly, has disappeared, and the police are after him. Ruth and Helen are concerned; while mischievous, Curly would never commit a crime. A short while later, a police boat docks with the steamer and several police officers board the boat, looking for Curly. They are unable to find him, but Ruth and Helen later spot a boy on deck whom they believe may be Curly. The girls are unable to speak to the boy before he disappears. After the girls debark from the boat, they join Nettie and Mrs. Parsons and are charmed by the ways of the South. At Mrs. Parsons' plantation, the girls spot Curly working in the cotton fields. Curly runs away when he sees Ruth and Helen, and the girls worry about him. The girls finally meet up with Curly after a tragic flood and fire and hope that they can somehow help Curly resolve his legal problems.
Ruth, Helen, and Jennie travel west to Arizona at the beginning of their summer vacation. A new film is to be shot at a mining camp, and Ruth is slated to write the scenario. Ruth plans to immerse herself in the atmosphere of Arizona and write the scenario as they await the film company's arrival. During the train ride, Ruth is surprised to discover that Edie Phelps is on the same train. Ruth wonders why Edie is traveling to Arizona. Later, an accident causes the train to break into two parts, and a burned-out bridge causes Ruth's part of the train to be stranded. The delay costs Ruth's group quite a bit of time, and they reach Arizona long after Edie Phelps arrives. Ruth and her friends are shocked to learn that Edie met their friend, Ann, at the station and left with her and their guide. Ruth's group is forced to find a new guide. Ruth decides that Edie wanted to arrive at the mining camp before Ruth—but why? At the mining camp, Ruth and her friends settle in and soon the film company arrives. Ruth becomes acquainted with a strange hermit who lives near the camp and continues to wonder about Edie. Soon, Ruth and her friends make an exciting discovery that sheds light on Edie's secret and causes a real gold rush.
Now that the Great War has begun, Ruth and Helen take time off from their sophomore year at Ardmore College in order to devote their time to the Red Cross and the war effort. Ruth feels very strongly that their work is needed. Many people in the farming communities have yet to awaken to the seriousness of the war. Ruth and Helen travel to different farms and enlighten people about the work of the Red Cross. The girls are worried, yet proud, when Tom Cameron, who is now a soldier, departs for Europe. Soon, both Jennie Stone and Helen Cameron leave for Europe so that they, too, can help out. Ruth continues her work at home with the Red Cross and is soon transferred to the state headquarters. Ruth is concerned when she discovers that a woman, Mrs. Mantle, who had previously been very critical of the Red Cross, now works for the Red Cross in an important position. Occasionally a darting airplane attracted her to the window. A mysterious fire wipes out all of the records of donations at the state headquarters, and Ruth wonders whether the fire was set in order to hide any evidence of missing money. Ruth soon travels to France and helps comfort the injured soldiers. Ruth's worries surface again when Mrs. Mantle arrives in France along with two of her confederates. Ruth keeps a watchful eye on Mrs. Mantle as she wonders whether she should tell someone about her suspicions.
