She makes it believable that Nancy really could outsmart all of the 'adult' characters, and she also has plenty of lively energy. Granville probably didn't find this role much of a challenge, but she gives it exactly what is called for. The plot is meant to be enjoyed rather than analyzed, and the settings likewise are pleasantly varied, as long as you aren't too critical of the details. In this feature (which is not one of the stories adapted directly from the books), Nancy tries her hand at being a reporter while she simultaneously attempts to clear an heiress of a murder charge. The detective story is simple but lively, and it has many pleasant light moments that make the time fly by.
As long as you have the right expectations, it's good fun to watch.
This very enjoyable B-feature was part of a series that starred Bonita Granville as Nancy Drew, with Frankie Thomas as her loyal and often beleaguered friend Ted.
