Plot

Young swimmer Ilmar sails on the ship "Equator" to the pioneer camp, located somewhere on the Black Sea shore. Accidentally, he witnesses a strange event: one of the passengers, a foreigner (he is a magician and a "businessman"), Mr. Pipp secretly throws a suspicious object into the sea (radio beacon). Pipp discovers a boy nearby and fearing revelation, pushes him overboard, and no one notices what has occurred on the boat.

Some time later, the leader of the pioneer detachment finds Ilmar on the shore of the stormy sea, who does not remember how he came to be in the water. Everything looks as if he fell into the water from the pier. Soon Ilmar and his new friends in the pioneer camp will again meet with the mysterious stranger ...
