Book 5 in the series. This time out, Dick has just passed his latest classes and his father offers to buy him a car. Dick picks out the most expensive, one-of-a-kind he finds and he and his chums set off across the U.S.
The sub-story is that he is trying to redeem his family's honor that his miserly uncle, Ezra, is damaging as the old man has "legally" swindled a fortune away from another young man.
In a race against unscrupulous agents of his uncle, Dick and pals find themselves being followed, trapped, tricked and duped at every turn as they try to get to San Francisco in order to file papers in the name of the once-rich young man that could save his fortune.
His car occasionally breaks down just in time to be found by his enemies, but he preservers with the aide of an unexpected source.
