There's a new con woman working in River Heights: Mitzi Channing is selling stock in a fake fur company as well as stolen minks. Adding insult to injury, Mitzi steals Nancy's driver's license and impersonates her. Nancy is nearly arrested and later is locked in a closet by overreacting fur sales people.
On a trip to Montreal to help her father on a case, Nancy finds clues for her mystery. In fact, Mitzi, once a professional ice skater, is planning a performance using Nancy's name. How brazen! The real Nancy ends up performing (of course) and almost catches one of the crooks (the police can't keep him on Nancy's word alone.) Nancy doesn't get that this was the same kind of flimsy evidence that almost got her arrested, and that was an outrage.
Nancy next combines a house party and mystery solving when she, Bess, and George invite their friends from Emerson College (Ned, Dave, and Burt respectively) to the Adirondacks. Nancy's Aunt Lou has a summer home there and agrees to chaperone. Good thing, because that's where Nancy solves the mystery and provides the evidence for her father's case as well.
The bad guys had tried to stop Nancy with a fake telegram and later, a rough hand is clapped over her face in an iron grasp. She faces a squarish man with a bulldog face and beady eyes. Poor Nancy is tied up and left in a cabin to freeze. She even misses a hillbilly orchestra playing old-time ballads and toe-tingling polkas.
Luckily Nancy knows enough to keep exercising until her friends came to the rescue.
