Book 1, Ch. 4

The Tower Treasure
Chapter 4: Red vs. Yellow




Failing to catch the prowler, the three young detectives search the barn. They are surprised to find a gray wig left behind on the barn floor! And Chet’s spare tire is missing! To their surprise, Oscar Smuff, a self-described investigator, calls and offers Chet information on where the stolen car is—for a price! The boys decide to go along with Smuff. He takes them to a used car lot, where he proudly points to a jalopy, but it’s the wrong color. “The thieves painted it,” he proclaims.
