In "The Case of the Wild Boys," Dick Tracy and Sam investigate a mysterious house fire, only to be baffled by two strange boys whose frantic behavior and odd speech stump even the seasoned detective. With no clear leads, Tracy calls in a linguistics professor to decode the boys’ cryptic words—uncovering a puzzle that’s as much about language as it is about crime.
