Brothers chase a jewel thief to a mansion hiding deadly secrets and bizarre mysteries.
Frank and Joe Hardy, with their friend Chet Morton, are on the trail of a jewel thief. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious mansion where the heir's sudden death raises questions. As they delve deeper, they encounter a vanishing floor, a menacing hound, a ghostly figure, and a professor's shocking invention. Can they unravel the mansion's secrets and catch the thief before it's too late? The stakes are high, and danger lurks at every turn.
Once again Frank and Joe Hardy take on a puzzling case when their famous detective father asks the boys to assist him in tracking down a notorious jewel thief and his accomplices. The trail leads to the outskirts of the Hardys’ home town and to a weirdly guarded mansion on the old Perth estate. With their pal Chet Morton, the brothers must tackle the mystery of the mansion heir’s sudden death. A disappearing floor, a huge, savage-looking, hound, a galloping ghost, and a college professor’s startling invention are just a few of the strange elements that complicate the boys’ efforts to solve both mysteries.
