Description

A trio of college friends—Tom, Sid and Phil—find their beloved old armchair suddenly vanished from the dormitory, and the baffling loss sparks a lively mystery that rattles their everyday routine. Their jokes and banter quickly give way to serious sleuthing as they turn the campus upside down, interrogating teammates, rummaging through lockers, and chasing whispers of hidden motives. The camaraderie that fuels their football practice also drives their determination to uncover who stole the piece of furniture that’s become a silent witness to countless triumphs and defeats.

As the boys juggle classes, practice drills, and the growing tension of an imminent big game, the mystery intertwines with the rhythm of college life—late‑night study sessions, hazing pranks, and the fierce loyalty of a team. Listeners will be drawn into the vivid, early‑20th‑century campus atmosphere, feeling every pep‑talk, every clue, and the excitement of a rivalry that promises more than just a win on the field. The story balances the thrills of a campus whodunit with the heart‑pounding energy of college football, making it a perfect blend of sport and intrigue.
