    Frank and Joe have an idea that their missing chums, Chet Morton and Biff Hooper, may have gone out to Blacksnake Island and run into trouble, so they head out to the island in their boat, Sleuth. Yes, there certainly is trouble on the island, and it doesn’t just come from the venomous blacksnakes that frequent the place. There are dangerous caves and unscrupulous outlaws as well! Can Frank and Joe do anything to save their friends?

    Chet and Biff are missing! Can they have perished in the huge storm? Of course, Frank and Joe want to go out on their motorboat, the Sleuth, to try to find some evidence of their missing friends, but when their cantankerous old great-aunt Gertrude comes to visit, those plans might need to be put aside, as Aunt Gertrude highly disapproves of “little boys going out on boats.” How can the Hardy boys just sit back and hope their friends somehow arrive back home?

    Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. 
    Here is the first episode in the FOURTH Hardy Boys’ book: The Missing Chums. When Chet Morton and Biff Hooper decide to take Biff’s father’s new motorboat on a trip up the Atlantic coast, the only thing that would make it better would be if Frank and Joe Hardy could join them. But they can’t. They have to stay at home in Bayport while their father is away on an important detective case. There are some strange things going on around town, however. Three suspicious looking men almost make Biff have a serious accident in the new boat, and then the same shifty men are seen at the side of the road by Chet Morton’s house for no good reason. Is there something going on that the boys should investigate?
