Synopsis
This story starts off innocently enough as the mayor of Brentwood dedicates a new lakeside playground. The entire Allen clan were there to enjoy the event and cover it for the Advance. On their way home, Sandy and Ken opt for a short cut along the "old road", and rescue Ralph Conner from the wreck of his truck. However, this last incident in a string of bad luck, could cause the Conner Brother Trucking Company to lose its insurance coverage, hence the end of their business. It's up to Ken and Sandy to prove the conspiracy involved.Despite repeated attempts to explain the circumstances surrounding Ralph's crash, nothing concrete is achieved. When Mr. Randolph Dutton enters and offers to buy out the beleaguered company, suspicions are raised. When the name of James Tolliver becomes involved, the boys find out from Granger that the mob may be in on the action.When Pop, Bert, Sandy, and Ken investigate at the lake on the outskirts of Brentwood, the whole sordid plot begins to manifest itself. Ken and Sandy must escape a gas filled tunnel and a final battle with the forces arrayed against them, before successfully unraveling the Clue of the Phantom Car.

Their business has been plagued by accidents during the last six months, and they have made a number of claims with their insurance company. One night, Ralph Conner runs off the road on a rural hill after he is blinded by the headlights of an oncoming car. No evidence of another car can be found, so the accident is blamed on Ralph. The brothers lose their insurance, and the brothers are forced to sell their business. Ken and Sandy are certain that if Ralph says he saw a car, then a car was on that road that night. The boys brainstorm ideas, trying to find some evidence that will prove that Ralph is telling the truth. Ken and Sandy find nothing, so they focus their efforts on the man who bought the Conners' business. That angle also results in a dead end. *** Quantity Available: 3.
