"Help!" The voice was weak and choked.  "Please, someone--help me! Someone--quick, before I--"

Hearing the cries, Jupiter Jones and one of his partners burst into the gloomy old house.  There on the floor lay a haggard man, bound and loosely gagged.

What in the world is going on?  The Three Investigators had been called in to help this man find his lost parrot--an unusual bird that quoted Shakespeare with a stutter.  But a lot more seemed to be at stake than a missing pet!
