Contents
What's the Story About?
The story starts when Frank, Joe, and their friend Chet have a small car accident. They crash into a large truck. Because their car is damaged, the truck drivers offer them a ride to the next town.
A Tricky Ride
However, things quickly go wrong. A group of criminals suddenly takes over the truck. They lock the drivers inside the back of the truck. This event is a "hijacking," which means someone takes control of a vehicle by force.
Mr. Hardy's Investigation
Later, the boys' father, Mr. Hardy, tells them something important. He explains that the same trucking company, Ortiz Trucking, has had many trucks stolen recently. Mr. Hardy is going to Washington, D.C., to help the FBI look into these hijackings.
Going Undercover
To help solve the mystery, Frank, Joe, and Chet decide to work undercover. This means they pretend to be regular drivers at Ortiz Trucking. They hope to find out who is behind the thefts.
Joe Gets Caught
While working, Joe himself gets hijacked by one of the criminals! This makes the case even more personal for the Hardy Boys.
Tracking the Gang
Frank and Chet work hard to track down the gang. Their search leads them to a ship called the Mary Malone. The boys secretly get onto the ship.
A Dangerous Plan
On the ship, Frank, Joe, and Chet finally come face-to-face with the criminals. They discover that this group is made up of dishonest officials. These officials have a very dangerous plan. They want to cause big trouble in major cities around the world to take control. The Hardy Boys must stop them before it's too late!
