Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Motor Matt's Make-and-Break; or, Advancing the Spark of Friendship" by Matthews is a thrilling adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. This installment of the "Motor Matt" series centers on the protagonist, Matt King, known as Motor Matt, who embarks on a daring mission involving his friends Joe McGlory and Ping Pong, a resourceful Chinese boy. Their journey is intertwined with themes of friendship, loyalty, and the pursuit of justice as they confront challenges posed by a rogue broker and the complications of familial ties. At the start of the story, the narrative introduces Prebbles, the clerk of the unscrupulous broker Amos Murgatroyd, who is compelled by his past to seek help from Motor Matt after receiving a troubling letter about his son, Newt. Prebbles struggles with guilt over their strained relationship and the life choices that led his son astray. Motivated by the desire to mend their bond, Prebbles seeks out Matt, believing that the young motorist can help rescue Newt from bad influences. As Motor Matt and his companions set off in the aëroplane, they encounter obstacles and unexpected adversaries that add urgency to their quest, hinting at an action-packed narrative filled with twists and turns.
