Plot
Nancy Drew competed in the local newspaper's amateur reporter contest and won a month's work. During her inquest at the job, she attempts to clear a girl named Eula Denning of murder charges with the help of long-suffering Ted and the two men from next door. Nancy rockets through a car chase, a song fest in a Chinese restaurant, a boxing bout, and a finale of whistling fireworks to catch the real killer. They find the evidence that will bring the real murderers to justice with the aid of Nancy’s father.
