The Third-Grade Detectives are looking forward to their field trip to a local art museum, where a priceless fifteenth-century statue of Joan of Arc is on loan from a Paris museum. But they discover the statue has been stolen. The police find the statue smashed and thrown in a Dumpster. It looks like a case for the Third Grade Detectives even if the museum director doesn't want their help.
