Can Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys stop the curtain from crashing down on a new Broadway spectacular? The producers of a huge new Broadway musical are worried about their star, a TV actress who has been receiving death threats. When the actress gets sick right before opening night, her understudy has to go on for her—and nearly dies in an “accident” on stage. So the producers call in the Hardy Boys to get to the source of the trouble. Baffled by all the backstage backstabbing, the Hardys call Nancy and ask her to come to New York and help them out.

A Civil War reenactment should be fun, right? Not in our town! It feels like war fever''s taken over. The tension started to build when we all chose sides. Confederate and Union sympathizers never did mix. And if that wasn''t enough to heat things up, someone started to secretly dig large holes in the battlefield. Pretty odd -- and very suspicious. Is someone waging a little war of their own, and trying to cheat? And if so, the bigger question is why?

I''m a detective,not an actor, so who would think I''d be involved in a crime both offscreen and on? A producer has come to River Heights to film a reenactment of the heist that gave our town it''s name, and he thinks I''m perfect for the part of Esther, the sister of the thieving Rackham boys. So I figure, why not give it a try? But once the cameras start rolling, the trouble begins. Food poisoning. Broken generators. And worse! If I don''t sniff out some suspects soon, this might be my final act.

The Clue Crew is seeing stars! Look out -- the Clue Crew is headed to Hollywood! Carson Drew''s client invited him to the set of a new movie -- starring the most famous cat in Hollywood, Fluffington! The girls are thrilled when Mr. Drew asks them to come along. They get their first taste of a real movie set and are even cast as extras in the film. Plus they get to pet Fluffington as much as they want. But then Fluffington vanishes. When no one can find the famous feline, the Clue Crew springs into action -- because a movie is not a movie without its star!

Nancy and her friends are astonished when the Casabian sisters announce that they will be filming their reality show in River Heights, a production that catapults the town into a maelstrom of midnight calls and threats by a menacing stalker.

Nancy joins an Elizabethan troupe as a lady to the queen’s court. There are performances and feasts, but the true drama unfolds when Nancy learns that she, the queen, and the entire festival have been targeted for sabotage.

So I agreed to play the part of Esther Rackham in a film about the heist that gave River Heights its name, and there was all this trouble on the set, and I figured out who was behind it. Case closed, right? Wrong! Once the camera starts rolling, a huge fire breaks out on the set, setting back production again. We''re running out of time and funds. At least the fire turns up a key clue about who started it, but I''ll have to continue juggling acting and sleuthing. Because it might be up to me to save this film from going up in flames....
