Terebel, centered around the Lincoln Cadets, a group of boys involved in military drills and preparations for a parade. As they await the arrival of their patron, Mr. Dunworthy, they find themselves amidst a tense situation concerning a workers’ strike at nearby mills, which escalates into a confrontation with Polish ironworkers.
