In Siam along the Menam River Prahada the elephant master recounts Chao Chahng the biggest and gentlest elephant. A man-eating tiger clung to a rock as rising floods swept the river. Four elephants and drivers swam in, but Chao Chahng alone held firm while a teak log drifted beneath the tiger.
Two Seattle boys, Bobby and Charley, encounter a gray coastal patrol vessel named the Smuggler's Nightmare while planning a sail to Siwash territory. A becalmed trip forces them to confront dwindling wind and a muffled naphtha-launch explosion approaching from unseen danger.
In a misty night scene two boys spy a black launch carrying wooden boxes delivering contraband. They debate action then decide to seize the craft and return it to revenue officers, risking discovery by wary smugglers.
In a swift duel on a log above a rising river, Kao Charing and Chao Chahng jointly defeated a man-eating tiger. The creature was driven into the water as the flood rose, ending the threat as the elephant showed calm courage.
Charles and Bob flee an island by boat after the Ready vanishes. Pursuing men shout warnings and threaten with a gun as the launch races through dark waters toward open Sound. The second boat gains on them but the boys push the engine to top speed to escape.
A search light catches a naphtha launch trapped at sea with two boys and smuggled cargo. Revenue officers stage a June night chase, placing a man aboard to aid the escape.
