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: qez: Your hacks are no match for my 50% increased speed, 6 extra health, 5% armour or something, short-range teleportation, and complete lack of a sword!
gollark: Well, laser bees aren't a standalone mod, we implement them using some weird cross-mod interactions.
