The story revolves around Cappy Ricks, a seasoned businessman who faces staffing challenges at his lumber and shipping company. After a dishonest manager absconds with funds, Cappy seeks a replacement who is capable and driven. He encounters Bill Peck, an ex-soldier with a disability who boldly requests a job. Cappy gives Peck a challenging task—locate and deliver a valuable blue vase within a tight timeline.
