When three friends—Jack, Bob and Frank—reunite in a rainy Seattle hotel after a daring South‑American treasure hunt, they receive a tantalizing clue about a vanished Arctic venture. Their father, Mr. Hampton, reveals that the mysterious “Lost Expedition” was not chasing gold or the North Pole at all, but a secret cargo of oil hidden in the frozen north. The boys’ curiosity ignites, and with their trusty radios and a knack for solving puzzles, they set their sights on uncovering the truth behind the vanished schooner.
Their plan quickly turns into a high‑stakes rescue as reports surface that the expedition’s crew may still be stranded in the icy wilderness. Guided by coded transmissions, daring navigation, and the unbreakable bond of friendship, the trio races against time and treacherous weather. Listeners will be swept up in a pulse‑pounding blend of mystery, technology, and classic adventure that captures the spirit of youthful heroism.
