The Allen's are to be visited by Ricardo Montez, friend
of Roberto Rosario, from their earlier case called "The
Mystery of the Green Flame". He is attacked immediately upon
his arrival in Brentwood. Ken and Sandy take Ricardo to Richard
Holt's apartment in New York City, where two masked gunmen attempt
to rob the three youths. If not for the interference by adjoining
neighbor, Mr. Taylor ... Why have these attacks occurred ? Could
Ricardo's family heirloom (amulet) hold the answer ? The boys
decide to journey to Mexico to discover the answer.
To help themselves during this possible treasure hunt,
Sandy and Ken arm themselves with "Megabucks", the
miniature radio transceivers developed by their friends at
Spindrift, Rick Brant and Don Scott. While unsuccessfully
searching the remnants of the Obregon hacienda, the two teens
realize they are under observation. But by who ? That is what
Sandy and Ken set out to find out. After identifying their foes,
all three are soon captured by them and forced to perform slave
labor. While trapped by their mysterious foes, Sandy and Ken
discover the meaning of the Plumed Serpent on Ricardo's amulet.
How they utilized this information to outwit their villainous
enemies and help solve an old family mystery for Ricardo, make
this one of Ken and Sandy's most exciting adventures.
