Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Jeanne Dante stars as precocious 13-year-old Judy Widdell, a devoted fan of dime-novel detective stories. When a real murder occurs in the vicinity, Judy insists upon playing sleuth, dragging teenaged astronomer Tom Fenton into her Sherlock shenanigans.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
