Across the street, Beans' neighbors are recovering from a partial fire that damaged their living quarters and their business right after Thanksgiving. The smoke-ridden Meyer's Bakery, however, will be ready in another two weeks, just in time for Christmas. In the meantime, Hank and Ida have been living at Granger's house. Still heartbroken by their devastating loss, the couple ask Beans and Booger to recover their property once the fire department clears the building for safe reentry. Beans heads into the attic while her buddy examines the basement. Among her neighbors' personal effects, Beans discovers an old scrapbook and a few unusual artifacts that give rise to questions about her friends.

When a feisty, curious red-headed teen BEANS (Quinn Fagioli) discovers her new neighborhood of Mill Creek, New Jersey, is rife with mysterious events, she cannot help but put her amateur sleuthing skills to work. With considerable good intentions, she recruits her reluctant neighbors BOOGER (Balthazar Bugerowski) and black-haired Adonis, VITO RUSAMANO - a novice forensics scientist and high school quarterback, to come to her aid. In THE CASE OF THE VANISHING MAIL, BEANS discovers that her belated Christmas card from her grandmother has been tampered with and the monetary gift inside, gone! Immediately, she begins her research, disturbing her community, and setting off alarms!
