Nancy Drew Reporter (1939)

Girl sleuth Nancy Drew (Bonita Granville) is always on the case when a mystery springs up in River Heights. This time, Nancy enters an amateur journalism contest and runs smack into a plot to frame an innocent young woman for murder. With the aid of her long-suffering chum, Ted (Frank Thomas Jr.), and some legal advice from her attorney dad (John Litel), Nancy nabs an elusive piece of evidence that she hopes will prove the identity of the real killer -- and win her the journalism prize to boot.
