The first in a new two-story miniseries of invention stories involving our favorite young inventor, Tom Swift. In story #1 Tom takes on a project to develop a high-flying surveillance aircraft that seems impossible to build. The specifications aren't precise and the whole thing appears doomed until he decides to just build it like it should be. When it turns out that a competing company may have been involved in bribery to get the contract, he redoubles his efforts.
Story #2 sees Tom investigating an alternate to gasoline or diesel engines to power cars and trucks. With the planet's supply of petroleum running low, it is almost a matter of doing it now, or missing the opportunity entirely. His efforts are hampered by a small team of foreign spies out to get his experimental power system for use as a weapon
