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 stumbles onto the identity of the real killer.

A charmingly earnest adventure where youthful pluck and a keen eye for detail unravel a puzzling crime. It’s a delightful, old-fashioned mystery that feels like stepping back into a simpler, more optimistic time.
