The Ruby King is a valuable, life-sized chess piece. It's the grand prize for a big chess tournament. Soon, the boys discover that a dangerous gang wants to steal this precious Ruby King.
Suddenly, the Ruby King mysteriously vanishes from Mr. Krassner's safe! This sends the Hardy Boys on a thrilling journey. Their search for the missing chess piece leads them all the way to Hong Kong.
