Acapulco Spies

Fenton Hardy (Edmund Gilbert) summons his sons to Mexico to bring him an important file. Upon arriving, they are to register at their hotel under false names and await a contact who will use a prearranged code. When two American girls, Jackie and Sue (Deborah Ryan and 60's, 70's & 80's cult item Kimberly Beck), inadvertantly use the special phrase, Frank and Joe think that they are the contacts. Later, while the foursome is relaxing on the beach, an evil henchman named Ramone (Jorge Cervera Jr.), employed by the mysterious Alexander Cartel (Craig Stevens), slashes Joe's glider. Alexander was an old friend of Fenton's but is now a dangerous criminal and fools the two boys that he's still friends with their father when really he's held hostage brutally beaten and weak from hunger. Then Jackie is taken hostage as well. There are no guarantees of a happy landing until the young detectives solve this dangerous puzzle.
