Little gives his account of a large battle between the three main continents in the Nelson brothers' world. William Little of Long Continent and Burt Green (sometimes referred to as Birt) of Round Continent work together to fight against Ethan Allen, leader of "the blues" of Big Continent. This detailed account is divided into five chapters titled as follows: "The Beginning," "The Blues Are Planning Something," "We Go to Prison" and "Scouting at Allenstown." Chapter 4 is untitled.
