The Hardy Boys Mysteries 07

Rosalind Chao. Some elements work really well, but occasional dumb moments keep it from being a great episode.


The story is at it’s best when Frank and Joe are dealing with the consequences of trying to solve the case alone. Things have gone wrong, and it’s really not their fault, but they feel responsible. Several great moments are built around this.


However, the mechanics of the smuggling crime itself are a bit far-fetched. And the storytelling is occasionally unsubtle. A shame. Because it could easily have been a much better episode. 7/10
