CGiii Comment

Never before has criminal investigation been so simple...or, so sickly sweet.

A policeman disguises himself as an old granny...that, in itself, is the mystery.

More patronising pulp from the age of innocence.

The(ir) Blurb...

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 they stumble onto the identity of the real killer.
