The story begins with Betty receiving a mysterious letter from her Uncle Amos Marlin, a former sea captain, hinting at a grand surprise. This surprise turns out to be a motorboat named the Gem, gifted to Betty by her uncle. The girls are thrilled at the prospect of embarking on a cruise on Rainbow Lake and the surrounding river.
