Pictures](/source/Warner_Bros._Pictures) on June 17, 1939, and was the third film in the original *Nancy Drew* film series. It is a sequel to *[Nancy Drew... Detective](/source/Nancy_Drew..._Detective)* (1938) and *[Nancy Drew... Reporter](/source/Nancy_Drew..._Reporter)* (1939) and was followed by *[Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase](/source/Nancy_Drew_and_the_Hidden_Staircase_(1939_film))* (1939). ## Plot 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. ## Cast - [Bonita Granville](/source/Bonita_Granville) as [Nancy Drew](/source/Nancy_Drew) - [Frankie Thomas](/source/Frankie_Thomas) as [Ted Nickerson](/source/Ned_Nickerson) - [John Litel](/source/John_Litel) as Carson Drew - [Aldrich Bowker](/source/Aldrich_Bowker) as Matt Brandon - [Charlotte Wynters](/source/Charlotte_Wynters) as Edna Gregory - Edgar Edwards as 'Chuck' Marley - [Renie Riano](/source/Renie_Riano) as Effie Schneider - [Roger Imhof](/source/Roger_Imhof) as Sheriff Barney Riggs - [Erville Alderson](/source/Erville_Alderson) as Clint Griffith - [Willie Best](/source/Willie_Best) as Apollo Johnson - [John Harron](/source/John_Harron) as Greenhouse Clerk - Cliff Saum as First Deputy Sheriff - [Tom Wilson](/source/Tom_Wilson_(actor)) as Milt - [Glen Cavender](/source/Glen_Cavender) as First Townsman (uncredited) - [Creighton Hale](/source/Creighton_Hale) as Man in Sheriff's Office (uncredited) - [Leo White](/source/Leo_White) as Man in Sheriff's Office (uncredited) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Nancy Drew...Trouble Shooter (1939) - Overview"](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422221052/http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/84568/Nancy-Drew-Trouble-Shooter/).
