Summary:
Why did the world-famous scientist come to Newfoundland in December 1901. What secret experiments did he carry out on Signal Hill in St. John's? And why did he feel he had to keep them secret? What was Marconi's invention and how has it saved numerous lives and changed the world of communications? Marconi's life and work are revealed through the eyes of two young children, Molly and Sam, as they visit Signal Hill and are told the story by their grandfather.
