This book was written for the Stratemeyer Syndicate by Andrew E. Svenson in 1949.[1] Between 1959 and 1973, the first 38 volumes of this series were systematically revised as part of a project directed by Harriet Adams, Edward Stratemeyer's daughter.[2] The original version of this book was shortened in 1970 by Priscilla Baker-Carr,[1] resulting in two different stories with the same title.

Plot summary

The Hardy brothers interrupt their investigations of jewelry store holdups to answer a plea from their cousin on a New Mexico cattle ranch. They discover how Arrow cigarettes can knock people out using a gas that comes out from a vent in the ground in New Mexico, originally discovered by American Indians.

gollark: Yes, that sounds quite bad.
gollark: Oh.
gollark: Unethical why?
gollark: People talk about alpha and beta and omega males, but there's an entire Greek alphabet between those.
