兄弟承包商公司在秘鲁赢得了一份政府合同，要在山中爆破一条隧道，连接两条孤立的铁路线。最后期限即将到来，而承包商却碰上了一堵墙：过硬的岩石让传统的爆破技术望而却步。该公司面临着完成任务的压力，否则合同将由他们的竞争对手Blakeson & Grinder公司拿下。乔布-蒂塔斯先生听说过汤姆-斯威夫特和汤姆的巨炮，这种巨炮被用来保护巴拿马运河，他想聘请汤姆研制一种特殊的爆破粉，帮助他们完成挖掘工作。
The Titus Brothers Contractors company have won a government contract in Peru to blast a tunnel through a mountain and connect two isolated railroad lines. The deadline is approaching, and the contractors have hit a literal wall: excessively hard rock which defies conventional blasting techniques. The company is under pressure to finish, or else the contract will default to their rivals, Blakeson & Grinder. Mr. Job Titus has heard of Tom Swift and Tom's giant cannon, which is used in protecting the Panama Canal, and wants to hire Tom to develop a special blasting powder to help them finish the excavation.
