Here's a strange thing, been reading through and formatting A Figure In Hiding by Franklin W. Dixon, one of the original canon books that was extensively rewritten.
The rewrite version of this is crazy, it involves the bad eye syndicate, a health farm and a big glass eye used as a shortwave transceiver. The original on the other hand...
Has someone attempt suicide. I'm not kidding, the boys are helping Fenton out by eavesdropping on some suspects in the hotel room. The daughter of the main suspect Rip Sinder, tells them to stop doing what they're doing, before its revealed that she's an orphan that Rip is looking after.
The next thing, she's running from the hotel and driving off toward the Willow River. The car goes over, but not before the boys pull her out and prevent her from topping herself, as she's nothing left to live for.
I've yet to find out what the gang is doing in that hotel room, or how it ties into a cinema robbery. The remake has Sinder saying very little, he's a big ex boxer who's taken a whack to the throat and cannot speak much more than grunts.
