The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure

The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure is a 1956 American TV serial that was broadcast in episodes of The Mickey Mouse Club. It was based on The Hardy Boys stories in particular The Tower Treasure.^[1]

According to Diabolique magazine: "Watching the serial today it's very much an item of its time, but Kirk's performance is a wonder – relaxed, energetic, a complete natural; he's not as conventionally good looking as Considine but he seems more at home on screen. He was the perfect Disney star."^[2]
