Summary "Tom Swift and His Great Searchlight; or, On the Border for Uncle Sam" by Victor Appleton is a children's adventure novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows the young inventor Tom Swift, who has recently perfected a noiseless airship motor, as he becomes embroiled in a mystery involving airship smugglers operating between Canada and the United States. The opening chapters introduce Tom's friends, including Ned and the giant Koku, as well as the antagonistic Andy Foger, setting the stage for an exciting adventure filled with invention and intrigue. The beginning of the novel establishes Tom Swift's world, where he is busy preparing his latest inventions while grappling with the return of his rival Andy Foger. When the boys discover that smugglers may be using airships to transport illegal goods and that their town of Shopton could be connected to these activities, they become entwined in a government investigation led by customs agent Mr. Whitford. The plot thickens as Tom decides to take on the challenge of capturing these smugglers, aided by his powerful new searchlight. As he experiments with the light and plans his mission to the Canadian border, the stage is set for a thrilling escapade fueled by invention, friendship, and possibly danger.
