Streaky SmithMr. SamsonTommy Samson

Streaky Smith, a counselor at the Pinetree Fresh Air Camp, works tirelessly to teach underprivileged boys swimming and canoeing—skills that might one day save their lives. When a wealthy industrialist visits the camp to consider funding, his initial skepticism about the value of such recreation is about to be tested in the most dramatic way possible. Streaky's dedication to water safety becomes far more than just good instruction when a dangerous situation unfolds on the lake.

Bigbrain Billy springs into action when Mayor Hartley calls on him to help uncover a threat against Midvale's city treasury—a rumor that crooks plan to either steal the secret alarm system or exploit a flaw within it. Using his scientific smarts and a clever scheme involving the city hospital's X-ray equipment, Billy sets a trap during a secret council meeting to catch the culprit red-handed. It's a race against time as the young genius works to protect the city's most valuable asset before the criminal can strike.
