Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Owen Clancy's Run of Luck; or, The Motor Wizard in the Garage" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Owen Clancy, a young man navigating the challenges of life while seeking employment. As he travels towards Phoenix, Arizona, he encounters various situations that test his character and resolve, including a severe car accident that he witnesses. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Owen Clancy and sets a dramatic tone as he witnesses a reckless car accident where a man is nearly killed. Clancy is depicted as quick-thinking and courageous as he leaps into action to save a bystander named James Montague Fortune, who has fallen over the precipice. Their bond is strengthened through shared experiences and mutual determination to find work in Phoenix. Clancy's quest leads him to a garage where he hopes to collect a debt owed to his family, setting the stage for further developments and conflicts involving unscrupulous figures like the garage owner, Silas Rockwell. As the plot unfolds, it hints at a deeper mystery and potential danger surrounding Clancy and his new companion, Fortune.
