Nancy Drew's two-week tour of Japan has taken a sudden ominous turn. Checking into her Tokyo hotel, she watches in amazement as an elderly woman is surrounded by the police and accused of smuggling.

When the Hardys hook up with Nancy, they discover that Japan is a land of exotic sights and extraordinary entertainments-Kabuki theater, sumo wrestlers, and lively nightclubs-but also a world of mystery and menace...
