Plot summary

In The Mystery of the Fire Dragon, the heroine detective, Nancy Drew is called to New York by her Aunt Eloise to solve a missing persons case. The granddaughter of her elderly Chinese author neighbor, Mr. Soong, has been kidnapped. The search is on, first by disguising Nancy's friend George Fayne (a girl) as the missing Chi Che, and then pursuing a lead at Chi Che's employer, a suspicious book store owner.

A series of clues, including dragon stationery, lead the girls to Hong Kong, where Nancy's boyfriend, Ned Nickerson, joins the action. Nancy foolishly follows "Chi Che" onboard a plane, and is herself kidnapped. Ingenious Nancy uses her lipstick to signal for help on the plane windows. After her rescue, she follows more clues to an international smuggling ring, and, using George in disguise again, forces the thieves out of hiding—and has the chance finally to locate the missing girl.

The original printings of this volume, the last new title issued in a dust jacket format, are highly desired by Nancy Drew collectors, and are considered valuable.
