The Outdoor Girls in Florida

After a foolish prank, Will Ford is sent away to work in his uncle's cotton mill in the south. After growing weary of his uncle's harsh treatment, Will runs away. Grace and her parents are frantic with worry, as Will has not communicated with them and has not returned home.

Amy Blackford plans to journey to Florida with Mr. and Mrs. Stonington so that Mrs. Stonington can regain her health. Amy invites the other girls, and Betty and Mollie eagerly agree to make the trip. Grace is reluctant until a communication arrives from Will indicating that he is seeking his fortune in Florida. Grace and the other girls depart in high hopes of finding Will.
