Brothers Frank and Joe Hardy embark on a mysterious adventure when they receive a shattered motorcycle helmet in the mail that belonged to their father. The helmet holds clues to a puzzling past involving Greek artifacts and a legendary city. The Hardys agree to help their pen pal from Greece, Evan Pandropolos, search for a priceless, ancient Greek helmet that was lost after being loaned to a Hollywood movie company. As they follow the trail of clues, the young detectives encounter foes and travel from their Greek college campus to California and finally to Greece, continually uncovering new leads. Danger is the name of the game when the Hardys agree to help their pen pal from Greece, Evan Pandropolos, search for a priceless, ancient Greek helmet. Years ago, Evan’s uncle had loaned it to Hollywood movie company for use in a silent motion picture, but the treasured helmet had been lost.
