Nancy Drew | Part 7 of 10 (Voice Only) | Mystery Sleep Story

In this suspenseful installment of 'Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock,' Nancy finds herself trapped in a locked closet at the Topham summer house after being captured by robbers who have stolen the family's furniture. Overwhelmed by fear and isolation, she battles despair and uses her wits to devise a plan—using a wooden rod from the closet as a lever to pry open the door. Just as she makes progress, a mysterious woman appears, claiming to be a 'two-legged bloodhound' tracking the robbers, only to admit she’s lost the key. Nancy is rescued by Jeff Tucker, the caretaker, who reveals he was lured away by a charming stranger offering drinks and a night out, leaving the house vulnerable. Despite his inebriated state, Jeff provides crucial details about the robbers and confirms the presence of the old Crowley clock, which Nancy suspects holds the key to solving the mystery. Together, they race to notify the police, splitting up at a fork in the road to pursue different leads. Nancy takes the route toward Garwin, hoping to intercept the thieves before they can dispose of the stolen goods. As dusk falls, she grows increasingly anxious, but a chance encounter with a farmer confirms the van passed recently. Doubt creeps in, but she returns to a suspicious roadhouse—the Black Horse—where she spots the very men who robbed the Topham estate, now drinking and laughing inside. The episode ends on a tense cliffhanger, with Nancy poised to confront the criminals.
