Frank and Joe Hardy are determined to bring to justice the vicious criminals who kidnapped their detective father while he was investigating sabotage of a road-building project in the Kentucky wilderness. After Mr. Hardy's amazing escape, the boys pick up a clue -- the word "Felix" mumbled by their sick father in his delirium.

The trail leads them to New York City but ends abruptly in a cemetery! Stunned, Frank and Joe come upon another clue -- a spiral symbol.
