When Ken and Sandy receive a fan
letter from Timothy Crandall, the world's youngest millionaire,
they could not know what the future held for them, because of it.
Steve Granger and Richard Holt assign the two teens to obtain an
interview and photos for Global News. When they arrive at
Timothy's mansion in Crag's End, Long Island, the mystery begins.
Where is the young recluse and what, if any role, do Ralph Walsh
and his assistant Brooks have?
Sandy and Ken theorize that Timothy has been
kidnapped and his guardians are hiding the fact, for fear of harm
to their young ward. The fact that his regular chauffeur was
replaced, adds to their conviction. Following up slim leads, Sandy
and Ken locate Timothy in a dingy area of New York City. There,
the desperate lad tosses them his grinning tiger amulet, the same
kind the boys had mailed him, in appreciation of his fan letter.
However, they are captured by Andy and Jerry, the guards of the
kidnapped youth. Utilizing Sandy's brawn and Ken's smarts, they
escape, only to find Timothy gone.
Clues point to Ice Creek, a desolate area of
Long Island. There, Timothy and his governess are found and in
dire straits. In a desperate battle, Sandy and Ken triumph and the
mastermind is unmasked. Looking back on this case, the boys were
amazed that the amulet sent to Timothy, would be vital in solving
the Mystery of the Grinning Tiger.
