There's trouble brewing at the old Morton farm and it's up to Frank and Joe to find out why. The Boys along with Chet, Iola and Callie are spending their winter vaction at Chet's grandparent's farm on the outskirts of Bayport. Equipment is vandalized, the barn set afire and finally, the family watchdog is dognapped! The investigation leads the Boys to suspect the fueding neighbors and a pushy real estate developer. A blizzard has the group snowbound and the Boys are almost lost in the storm when they run the Morton's dune buggy into a pond while chasing the suspects!
