Summary:

Uncle Dick's old friend, Harvey Britton, has passed away. Harvey owned land on No-Trail Island in Florida, but his widow has been unable to find her husband's papers. Harvey never recorded the deed to the land, so there is no proof that he ever owned it. Another man has now come forward claiming to own the island. Uncle Dick travels down to Florida with Betty and Bob to see whether he can help Mrs. Britton find her husband's papers so that she can claim the land.
