INTRO:

Victorian England. Ray Steam is a teenager from the newly industrialised city of Manchester who has a knack for mechanics. His father and grandfather are both renowned experts on steam-driven technology, working in a laboratory in far-off Alaska. One day a package arrives at Ray's mother's house, containing the two experts' brand new invention: a steam ball, an odd spherical device that harnesses an enormous energy potential. No sooner has Ray opened the box or a pair of sinister gentlemen knock on the door in an attempt to get hold of the contraption. Ray escapes on his self-made unicycle, but he is pursued by the heavies, who are hell-bent on getting their mitts on the metal ball. Despite the help of a mysterious stranger, Ray and the device are captured during a chase that involves a steam-driven truck, a train and a zeppelin and the boy is dragged off to the lair of the millionaire O'Hara. There he finds out that his father and grandfather are engaged in a bitter rivalry over the use of their common invention and that various forces want to use it to their own dastardly ends.
