<p>Bottom picture of Grosset & Dunlap cover was sent to me by Mark Snyder.

Summary: No official summary was ever provided with any of the old Tom Swift books. The book opens with Ned Newton working on "small, but complicated mechanism." Ultimately, we find it is a "pocket wireless sender" to be used to communicate via a cipher code if/when one of the chums is in trouble. He proposes to Tom that a means of seeing through brick walls would be invaluable in "finding criminals and anyone who might be kidnapped." Tom has other things on his mind, and pooh-poohs the idea. It seems that a secret vault, located below his lab and protected by double-locks and alarms has been penetrated, and a small wooden box containing the formula for a deadly war gas has been stolen. Tom must recover the formula before it can be used to cause death & destruction at home and abroad.</p><br/><br/><p><img src="https://startupstockphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/ssp615.jpg">It is learned that the formula was purloined by a nefarious foreigner who goes by the moniker "The Leopard." He leaves three muddy thumbprints as a calling card whenever he works his evil deeds, and seems to be able to come and go whenever he pleases, in spite of locks, alarms, and watchmen. He was even seen to appear to fly over a fifteen foot tall electrified fence. I short, Ned's worst fears are realized when he is captured and held as ransom against Tom finishing his detector and using it to locate the Leopard and the stolen formula. They suffer hardships and solve technical mysteries that threaten the project's completion. Ned is able to contact Tom with his pocket wireless, and send the secret code. Unfortunately, this volume is not available on-line. Ned Newton-Chum & constant companion of Tom, currently Financial Manager of Swift Construction Company. In spite of this high office, he seems to have lots of time to go gallivanting on adventures with Tom.</p><br/><br/><div style="clear:both;"></div><p>Tom Swift-Intrepid Inventor, Hero, and wedded to love interest, the former Miss Mary Nestor.
