All three secrets have something to do with transportation.
Abbott Dugally from Los Angeles, California: “I pedaled a bicycle
around the world (7 years- 75,000 miles)”
Dugally called his mode of
transportation, which is shown after the game, “Suzie the Wonder Bike.” It is a ten-speed, with fifteen pouches that
could hold 150 pounds of gear. He
performs some of the acrobatic tricks he would do to earn money from passersby
on his trip. Dugally wasn’t done with his long-distance biking. He continued for another year or so after
this appearance, racking up over 80,000 miles.
Special Guest Hugh O’Brian: “I’m going to attach a motor to my
roller skates”
O’Brian
straps a one-horsepower motor to his back.
The motor is attached to the drive shaft of one of the skates and is
operated by a squeeze control held in his hand. (Also see

)
Moulton Taylor from Longview, Washington: “I flew to New York in
this automobile…It converts into an airplane”
Taylor’s Aerocar features collapsible
wings and a tail, which can be towed behind the automobile. The plane is assembled during the game, and
is an impressive sight. Taylor would try
for decades, into the 1970s, to make the Aerocar commercially viable, but those
dreams never materialized. Today some of
his prototypes reside in aeronautic museums.
