Synopsis:  Frank and Joe Hardy become involved in a case after cars begin disappearing along the coastal highway near Bayport, Shore Road. Local authorities are baffled—there are no witnesses, no clear tracks, and the stolen vehicles seem to disappear without a trace. Suspicion soon falls unfairly on one of the Hardys’ close friends, putting pressure on the boys to clear his name.

Determined to uncover the truth, Frank and Joe follow a trail of scattered clues: unusual tire marks, shadowy figures spotted at night, and hints that the thieves may be hiding the cars in an unexpected place. The investigation leads them into several dangerous encounters, including ambushes and close calls along the road itself.

By piecing together the evidence and using their wits, the brothers discover the clever method the culprits have been using to spirit away the vehicles. In the end, the Hardy Boys expose the real gang behind the thefts, recover the stolen cars, and prove their friend’s innocence.
