Nancy Drew… Reporter (1939)

While participating in a contest at a local newspaper in which school children are asked to submit a news story, local attorney Carson Drew’s daughter Nancy intercepts a real story assignment. She "covers" the inquest of the death of a woman who was poisoned. Nancy doesn’t think the young woman accused of the crime is guilty and corrals her neighbor Ted into searching for a vital piece of evidence, and they stumble onto the identity of the real killer.
