| Summary |
"The Missing Chums" by Franklin W. Dixon is a novel written in the late 1920s. It continues the adventures of the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe, as they solve crimes and uncover mysteries. The story likely revolves around the disappearance of their friends, Chet Morton and Biff Hooper, following a boating excursion and a storm, leading to suspicions of kidnapping. The opening of the book sets the stage with Frank and Joe lamenting their missed opportunity to join their friends on a coast trip. As they engage with Chet and Biff on the water, a mysterious motorboat closely follows them, raising their suspicions. The tale quickly escalates with tension as the boys narrowly escape a possible accident with sailboats amidst mounting stormy weather. After the storm, Frank and Joe are informed that Chet and Biff have not returned from their trip, leading them to suspect foul play and to decide on a search. The narrative introduces a burgeoning mystery as they piece together clues suggesting that their friends may have been kidnapped, forcing them into a daring investigation.
