The story focuses on the resourceful young inventor Tom Swift as he embarks on a new and ambitious project of creating a flying boat capable of traversing land, water, and air. With his adventurous spirit, Tom hopes to overcome challenges associated with his innovative design while engaging with a cast of supporting characters that include his father, Mr. Barton Swift, and his friend, Mr. Wakefield Damon. At the start of the story, Tom expresses his confidence in the feasibility of building a flying boat, sparking a debate with his father about the practicality of the idea.
