The story follows the escapades of three friends—Jerry, Ned, and Bob—who are known as the Motor Boys, as they embark on a rescue mission involving a hot air balloon and a profitable friend.

At the start of the novel, the boys express their concerns about improvements to their airship, the "Comet", while grappling with personal troubles in Ned's family. When they learn that Mr. Wescott Jackson, a wealthy acquaintance, is in danger after being swept out to sea in a balloon during a storm, they immediately decide to take action. The friends, united in their friendship and determination, frame their plans around aiding Ned's father by locating Mr. Jackson, setting off on a series of spirited discussions about their airship's upgrades as well as their impending adventure. The opening establishes the boys' blend of youthful enthusiasm and resourceful ingenuity, setting the tone for the thrilling escapades to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
