The Great Airport Mystery: Restored Classics to Go Edition

Frank and Joe Hardy head to Bayport's new airport expecting a glimpse of the future, but the promise of aviation turns into immediate peril when a plane comes hurtling down toward their roadster. They survive the crash, rescue the pilot Giles Ducroy, and are shocked when he blames them for the accident. A farmer's eyewitness account and their father Fenton Hardy's help expose Ducroy's drunken misconduct and cost him his job and license, but the disgraced flyer's rage only deepens the danger. As newspaper gossip spreads and the boys struggle with final exams, a violent storm, a suspicious airport mail robbery, and a chilling chain of planted clues pull them into a far larger mystery. When Joe and Frank are arrested for the robbery, the evidence seems overwhelming: a blue sweater with Frank's name, Joe's footprints, and Frank's knife. Even after Fenton Hardy proves the footprint was made by a larger man, the authorities press ahead, and the Hardys are hauled before a magistrate with bail set at fifty thousand dollars. Caught in a scandal of air mail theft and false accusation, the brothers must fight to clear their names before it is too late.
