| Synopsis |
Case 05 |
|
Missing: One fabulous, jewel-encrusted belt, once owned by the ancient emperors of Japan. The Three
Investigators are ready to jump into action, but officials at the Peterson Museum turn them away for
being too young. Then a strange twist of fate brings Jupe, Pete, and Bob on the case, and the boys
are soon surrounded by master criminals - who will stop at nothing to hold on to their stolen fortune !
Is the priceless belt lost for good, or will the Three Investigators be able to save the day ?
The boys are present at a museum when a daring robbery takes place. Forbidden to help on that case,
the Investigators are contacted by Alfred Hitchcock to help a friend of his who has been beset by
gnomes. Unknown to the boys, the case of gnomes and the museum robbery are connected by a group of
clever criminals.
