This
story
starts
off
innocently
enough
as the
mayor
of
Brentwood
dedicates
a new
lakeside
playground.
The
entire
Allen
clan
were
there
to
enjoy
the
event
and
cover
it for
the
Advance.
On
their
way
home,
Sandy
and
Ken
opt
for a
short
cut
along
the
"old
road",
and
rescue
Ralph
Conner
from
the
wreck
of his
truck.
However,
this
last
incident
in a
string
of bad
luck,
could
cause
the
Conner
Brother
Trucking
Company
to
lose
its
insurance
coverage,
hence
the
end of
their
business.
It's
up to
Ken
and
Sandy
to
prove
the
conspiracy
involved.
Despite
repeated
attempts
to
explain
the
circumstances
surrounding
Ralph's
crash,
nothing
concrete
is
achieved.
When
Mr.
Randolph
Dutton
enters
and
offers
to buy
out
the
beleaguered
company,
suspicions
are
raised.
When
the
name
of
James
Tolliver
becomes
involved,
the
boys
find
out
from
Granger
that
the
mob
may be
in on
the
action.
When
Pop,
Bert,
Sandy,
and
Ken
investigate
at the
lake
on the
outskirts
of
Brentwood,
the
whole
sordid
plot
begins
to
manifest
itself.
Ken
and
Sandy
must
escape
a gas
filled
tunnel
and a
final
battle
with
the
forces
arrayed
against
them,
before
successfully
unraveling
the
Clue
of the
Phantom
Car.
