Lured by the thought of new adventure, as well as by the sincere desire to serve their country, Sam Hickey and Dan Davis (the Battleship Boys) join the United States Navy. After three months in training school, they are assigned to the battleship "Long Island," and then begins one thrilling experience after another. Dan and Sam heroically rescue a drowning diver, at the risk of their own lives, and receive a medal of honor at the hands of the President of the United States. They help win the cup race for their very own ship from the Atlantic fleet. They fight a battle with desert brigands in Egypt and lose their way in the tombs under the Great Pyramid. All this and more happens to the Battleship Boys in their climb to fame and fortune!
