Through the Air to the North Pole

The story unfolds in the small village of Freeport, where Constable Ezra Jenkins takes his role as the sole enforcer of law very seriously. When two boys are confronted for allegedly being tramps, Jenkins uses his authority to drive them away, believing they are beggars based on their appearance. The tension highlights themes of authority, prejudice, and the harsh realities faced by those on the margins of society. As Jenkins asserts his power, the narrative explores the dynamics of small-town life and the perceptions of innocence versus guilt.
