Detectives chase pickpockets at a carnival, uncovering a mysterious whale tattoo clue.
Frank and Joe Hardy face a puzzling case at Solo’s Super Carnival. Tasked with catching elusive pickpockets, they stumble upon a bizarre clue: a three-part whale tattoo. As their friends Tony and Biff inadvertently threaten the carnival's future with a peculiar stuffed whale, the brothers must unravel the mystery before the thieves strike again. Can they solve the riddle and save the carnival from ruin?
One exciting event follows another when Frank and Joe Hardy are hired to apprehend the pickpockets who have been plaguing Solo’s Super Carnival. When their friends Tony Prito and Biff Hooper exhibit a stuffed whale dug up at a construction project, they all but put the carnival out of business. In this thrilling mystery the young detectives pit their wits against a gang of thieves whose bizarre identification, a three-part whale tattoo, proves to be a nearly insolvable riddle.
