Davy Bowman and his friend, Scooter Tomlinson, both have family members that went off to fight in World War II. They both look for ways to support the war effort. At first, they collect a ton of scrap metal to help build bombers and tanks. They collect so much they earn movie tickets that last all year. Then they collect milkweed from a barn where they meet an old women who thinks they are stealing her dad's old car. She lets them in for some cake. They then start collecting paper. They collect a lot but then some older Boy Scouts steal the papers. After that they quit Cub Scouts and never collect paper again. They they get a letter that Bill, Davy's brother, was shot down over France. Davy's whole family gets worried and soon his grandparents show up to help them cope. Davy's grandpa starts making homemade root beer which later explodes. Soon after, they receive mail that Bill has been found and is on his way home. Davy and his dad go outside and shoot a shotgun in the air for their returning hero.
