"Motor Matt's Close Call; or, The Snare of Don Carlos" by Stanley R. Matthews is a thrilling adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Motor Matt, a daring young man known for his skills with various motor vehicles including submarines, as he navigates treachery and heroism in Central America. In this installment, Matt faces a plot engineered by the nefarious Don Carlos Valdez, who seeks to use
the submarine, the "Grampus", for his revolutionary aims. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Carl Pretzel, a German boy who attempts a romantic serenade for the beautiful Ysabel Sixty but accidentally breaks into the wrong yard, drawing the ire of Captain Pierce-Plympton. In a series of comical misadventures, Carl finds himself entangled with Don Ramon Ortega, who, after being rescued from captivity, reveals the threat posed by Don Carlos. This revelation sets the stage for Motor Matt and his friends—daring adventurers accustomed to intrigue—to confront the impending danger of a major plot against them, hinting at further confrontations and escapades to follow.
