In the heart of a suburban town, young, spirited Nancy Drew finds herself amidst six teenagers vying for the top spot in a local newspaper's amateur reporter contest.

As Nancy plunges into the ominous depths of the case, a minor delay involving a fender bender threatens the timely reporting of the charge against the accused, Eula Denning. But, as fate would have it, this seemingly insignificant mishap might hold the first clue to unraveling Lambert's murder mystery. Convinced of Denning's innocence despite the lack of concrete evidence, Nancy persuades her father, the esteemed lawyer Carson Drew, to defend the accused.
