Chased by menacing scuba divers on the beach and by an eccentric neighbor on the cliff, The Three Investigators plunge into a case where danger lurks at every turn. The Three Investigators must decide, are they willing to risk their lives and return to the cave to for the clues they need to solve The Mystery of the Coughing Dragon?
