| Summary | "Motor Matt's Short Circuit; or, The Mahout's Vow" by Stanley R. Matthews is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the adventures of Matt King, also known as Motor Matt, who is a skilled young motorist. As he navigates the challenges that come with performing at a traveling show, he becomes entangled in a plot involving an exotic snake charmer and an unruly elephant, Rajah, setting the stage for thrilling escapades and potential dangers. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the mystical atmosphere created by a serpent charmer performing with a cobra at night, which hints at the coming conflict involving the character Dhondaram, a snake charmer with a hidden agenda. As Motor Matt prepares for his next flight in the aëroplane, tension rises with the arrival of Rajah, the elephant, whose unpredictable behavior leads to chaos in the show. The opening sets an intriguing tone for the novel, laying down a mix of suspense, adventure, and the unique blend of carnival life that will drive the plot forward, while also alluding to the underlying schemes threatening Matt and his friends.
