Student Nancy Drew (Bonita Granville) has entered a student journalism program where she and other students compete to write the best article for a newspaper. But when her assignment turns out to be less than promising, she just steals an assignment from a real reporter to attend the pre-trial of one Eulah Denning (Betty Amann), who is supposed to have killed her foster mother and who seems to be as good as guilty - if it wasn't for a tin can that contained the poison the foster mother was killed with that's supposed to show the fingerprints of the real killer ... but the tin can simply cannot be found.

Nancy believes in Eulah's innocence though, and then, rather by accident, she follows a thug, Soxie Anthens (Jack Perry), to Eulah's house, and she figures he has to have something to do with it. From now on, Nancy puts her heart and soul into the investigations, and she coaxes her boyfriend Teddy (Frankie Thomas) and even her lawyer father (John Litel) into helping her, investigaions that lead to Teddy doing a round of boxing against Soxie, a former pro, in a gym, Nancy and Teddy with his sister and her boyfriend (Mary Lee, Dickie Jones) giving a musical performance in a nightclub, and the like.

Eventually, Nancy figures everything out: Miles (Larry Williams), the nephew of the dead woman, has joined forces with Soxie and his girlfriend (Sheila Bromley) to get rid of her and put the blame on Eulah so Miles can inherit - but somehow, Nancy manages to pit Soxie and Miles against each other by using Soxie's jealousy against him, then puts a phony headline into the paper to lure Miles to Soxie's hotelroom. And with the help of a police sergeant in drag (Olin Howland) and a bugging device, she can prove Soxie and Miles guilty, and finally get hold of them with the help of the entire police force.

Totally harmless yet somewhat charming murder mystery from the low budget end of the genre, that profits from a light-footed lively screenplay, a great cast of character actors, and a spirited performance by Bonita Granville as amateur detective who has to do things on her allowance that really carries the movie. Not great, but nice, and probably better than you would expect a family movie to be.
