SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK
In the 1959 version, Nancy is 18, and is most prompted to help the Crowley kin by her affection for a young child who is a distant relative. The Horners are now the Hoovers, and Nancy helps to discover musical talent in their family. She uses her high-powered navy blue convertible to aid her in her search. This Nancy is more refined and sedate, the gun chase is toned-down, her rivals are depicted as very undeserving of wealth, and Helen is older (in preparation for her initial "write-out," after volume 4 of the revised series---no explanation is made in the original series to introduce Bess and George.)
