When George’s mother invites Bess, George, and Nancy Drew to help organize a benefit for the local library, the trio eagerly agrees.

However, the chosen venue—a cozy bed‑and‑breakfast run by a gentle old couple—has been plaguing the town with vandalism. Teapots break, the staircase is booby‑trapped, and the hosts are constantly disturbed by an unseen intruder, yet no one can discern how the culprit slips in and out. With the party in jeopardy, Nancy takes the lead, using her detective skills to uncover clues and protect the hosts, ensuring the library benefit can go ahead.
