Description

Tom Swift is a bright‑eyed teenager with a knack for invention, and when a damaged motor‑boat surfaces at an auction near Lake Carlopa, he sees more than a bargain—he sees a chance for adventure. With his father’s cautious blessing, Tom decides to bid, hoping to restore the vessel and put it to the test on the sparkling waters that have long been his playground.

But the boat’s arrival awakens an old rivalry with the cocky Andy, sparking a series of daring speed trials and unexpected mishaps. As the two young men push their machines to the limit, a sudden cry for help draws Tom into a perilous rescue that puts his ingenuity and courage to the ultimate test. Listeners will be swept along with the roar of engines, the thrill of competition, and the promise of a heroic deed that could change Tom’s relationship with the lake forever.
