| 520 | _a"The Movie Boys in Peril: or, Strenuous Days Along the Panama Canal" by Victor Appleton is a juvenile adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows moving-picture operators Blake Stewart and Joe Duncan as they head to the Panama Canal to capture dramatic scenes—especially the feared Culebra Cut landslides—while a courteous but puzzling Spanish companion, Vigues Alcando, joins them to learn the trade. Expect travel, engineering spectacle, and light intrigue woven into brisk, boyish action. The opening of the book finds Blake and Joe on vacation when they spot a runaway horse and buggy headed for a broken bridge; after a high-speed chase on their new motorcycle, they pull the wrecked carriage back from the brink, saving driver Hank Duryee and a young Spaniard, Vigues Alcando. A delayed special-delivery letter from their employer, Mr. Hadley, reveals plans for the boys to film the Canal and a possibly imminent big slide at Culebra Cut, and Alcando—eager to learn moviemaking—asks to accompany them. In New York the boys get instructions from Hadley and Ringold, while Alcando’s behavior occasionally raises questions (a windblown note mentioning “big guns,” a secretive visitor, and a brass-bound ticking “alarm clock” he won’t explain). The trio sails for Colon; after a voyage marked by small suspicions and Alcando’s insistence on gratitude and helpfulness, they arrive in Panama and prepare to begin their filming.
