The Nancy Drew series of detective novels was created in 1930 by Edward Stratemeyer of the Stratemeyer Syndicate (who had also created the Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, and Tom Swift novels). Matt is freed and Nancy is reconciled to her father's romance with Edna. After Ted manages to land the plane, Carson explains that Griffith and Marley were robbing Clark and killed him when he discovered their duplicity. She fetches Carson in time to see Ted and Nancy abandoned in the now airborne airplane. Meanwhile, Apollo has informed Edna of Nancy's plans. They escape by waving a scarf in front of a bull, but Marley then blocks their path with his airplane. He locks them in the barn, planning to kill them in a fake accident. Nancy talks Ted into searching Griffith's barn for the missing murder weapon, and they find the gun just as Griffith discovers them. That evening when the Drews accept neighbor Edna Gregory's invitation to an ice cream social, Marley sets the nursery on fire, and the records are destroyed. Learning of their intentions, he asks his pilot, Chuck Marley, to follow them, and Marley overhears them make plans to look at the nursery's sales records the following day.
She and Ted sneak into Griffith's greenhouse to look for the rare plant, but before they can find it, Griffith returns.
She is sure that the rare plant grew from a seed that was dropped at the time Clark was buried, a suspicion that is confirmed when she learns that Clark's partner, Clinton Griffith, has a nursery on his property. Because she feels responsible for his arrest, Nancy decides to solve the mystery herself. Now the police have everything they need to keep Matt in jail. Nancy sends Matt's servant, Apollo Johnson, to dig the plant up for her, and he discovers Clark's body buried underneath. Later, Nancy and her friend, Ted Nickerson, discover a rare tropical flower on Matt's land. Shortly after their arrival, Carson obtains Matt's release from jail on the grounds that no body has been recovered. Carson's sixteen-year-old daughter Nancy is convinced that her father can clear Matt's name-with her help. When Matt Brandon is accused of killing Henry Clark, he sends for his old friend, lawyer Carson Drew.
