Nancy Drew... Trouble Shooter is a 1939 American comedy film directed by William Clemens and written by Kenneth Gamet. The film stars Bonita Granville, Frankie Thomas, John Litel, Aldrich Bowker, Charlotte Wynters and Edgar Edwards.[1][2][3] The film was released by Warner Bros. on June 17, 1939, and was the third film in the original Nancy Drew film series. It is a sequel to Nancy Drew... Detective (1938) and Nancy Drew... Reporter (1939) and was followed by Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase (1939).
Plot
[edit | edit source]The Drews relocate to the country in an effort to clear a family friend of a murder charge. Upon arrival Carson Drew meets the charming Edna Gregory, triggering an intense jealousy in Nancy as she fears losing her father to the woman's advances. When the disinterested local sheriff refuses to consider the family friend's innocence, it's up to Nancy and reluctant boyfriend Ted Nickerson (whose family is vacationing at a nearby lake) to find the real murderer and clear “Uncle Matt’s” name.
This movie made it evident that Nancy and Ted started dating sometime during the gap between the events of the second and third movie.
