Following instructions in a note to meet uncle Jim, Jack, Betty and Billy are on the way, but wonder if they may be walking into a trap. After a narrow miss, they are once again in a taxi, and keep second thinking what to do. Betty waits in the cab while Jack and Billy have a closer look at the seedy restaurant.
Leaving Betty with the taxi, the boys peek through windows in the dark, have they found the hideout of Dr. Chepeto? A car puolls up around front, and the guys see Betty alone on the street. Whistling a signal to her, they duck out of sight from the stranger who crashed into their taxi earlier. Can the kids slip away unnoticed?
Suddenly Blackbeard approaches with the stranger, but nobody has spotted the kids. Jack figures they can slip away on the scooner that dropped off Blackbeard, but it won’t be easy.
