What happens

Jack, Sam and Pete are fictional characters who starred in stories published in the Amalgamated Press boys' story paper The Halfpenny Marvel (later The Marvel) from 1901 to 1922. It is an adventure story following a trio of globetrotting chums able to find excitement all over the world. The phenomenally strong Pete, a native of Zanzibar, befriends drifting Oxford graduate Jack Owen and American crack shot Sam Grant, who become his trusty companions; Pete soon proves to be a champion prize-fighter and the trio become travelling companions going to all sorts of places for boxing matches and other ventures. Pete's dog Rory was also a regular travelling companion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
