It has been a long time since I saw this episode. I did not remember much of it so it was as new to me. It is totally sad to be reminded that Rick went down in a plane on fire, similar to the plot of this show. Getting past that, I will go on....
I don't agree at all that Rick's acting was so poor. He was a quiet man with a shy type personality. He was well-known for his acting in movies like Rio Bravo with John Wayne and Dean Martin, and The Wackiest Ship in the Army with Jack Lemmon. Of course, we gotta remember him on his parents' show the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, plus a few other movies and tv specials. Most of us remember him as a "rocker". Yes, some of his music of that time was on the new country side. Billboard's side trade magazine, Amusement Business, commented in the '80 that Rick's music may have been the best on the road.
As for the plot, I didn't understand why the Hardy boys didn't try to jump the intruder. Sure, it would have been risky, but they needed to catch the culprit. They almost lost their lives in the fire. The show was good enough to keep my attention to solve the mystery of the missing man and the connection with the plot to kill Tony Eagle (played by Rick Nelson).
