When Joe Driscoll, a loyal veteran
worker at the Brentwood Weekly Advance, disappears Ken and Sandy
begin an investigation. When their initial sleuthing turns up
tantalizing tidbits of information, Brentwood Police Chief Andy
Kane joins in. Then when Pop receives a card purportedly from Joe
and postmarked Crandon, Ken and Sandy journey to that nearby town
and track down "the Black One". There they also run into
the mysterious antique dealer De Lacey.
Following up Joe's hobby of bird watching, the
intrepid duo stake out a nearby marsh. There, more clues turn up
that involve a freight train. Shortly after it is Sandy who
recalls that an abandoned inn near the outskirts of Camden
(Hangman's Inn), would be a likely hide-out for the gang that
kidnapped Joe Driscoll. To their utter amazement, Ken and Sandy
find Pop and Bert held captive there ! When the two would-be
rescuers are added to the prisoners, things looked bleak indeed.
How all three Allens, Ken, and Joe escape the
clutches of the train robbers and eventually trap them, make
"The Secret of Hangman's Inn" one of Ken and Sandy's
most difficult cases to date.
