About This Book

The narrative follows a young, daring driver nicknamed Motor Matt and his spirited friend Carl as they aid a stranded road troupe guarding a mysterious tin box. When horsemen Brisco and Spangler seize the box and other vehicles are stolen or disabled, the pair launch high-speed chases in their speedy runabout, contend with river mishaps and a perilous mountain descent that culminates in a car-versus-car confrontation. Episodes of search, disguise, sudden disappearances, and an audacious plan lead to unexpected meetings and a resolution that untangles a crooked scheme surrounding Legree and the lost box. The plot emphasizes mechanical skill, steady nerve, and comradeship amid pulpy motor-age thrills.
