Get a Clue

Lexy Gold contributes as the school newspaper's advice columnist and snaps a candid photo of Mr. Orlando Walker. The bold piece runs in the city’s daily paper, shattering the status quo at school and thrusting Lexy into the spotlight. The sensational article ignites curiosity and reveals how appearances mask deeper tensions.

Soon after the article hits the press, Walker vanishes, sending shockwaves through the school. Police later discover his car abandoned in the East River, suggesting foul play rather than a simple disappearance. The incident shifts the story from gossip to a dangerous mystery that demands answers.

Lexy teams up with her best friend Jen, a perceptive classmate Gabe, and rival-turned-ally Jack to investigate Walker’s disappearance. Each brings a different strength—social intuition, practical know-how, curiosity, and leadership—creating a makeshift teen investigative unit. Their collaboration drives the early stages of the inquiry.

As clues mount, the team learns Miss Dawson and Walker were once involved, hinting at a possible personal motive behind the turmoil. The revelation adds layers to the case, hinting that professional or financial pressures could be at play. The teens begin weighing how romance and secrets intersect with responsibility.

The group visits Walker’s old apartment to uncover background, where they encounter Detective Meany, a gatekeeper of clues who may have his own agenda. The meeting hints at deeper ties and potential complicity within the investigation. The teens sense the case is more tangled than a simple missing-person mystery.

The teens meet Walker’s mother, Mrs. Petrossian, whose perspective adds a human face to the story. She hints at a complicated family history and the consequences of Walker’s choices. Her account begins to illuminate the pressures that shaped Walker’s life and decisions.

The investigation reveals Walker had changed his identity after being accused of a staggering $10,000,000 theft. A cryptic letter points toward a real thief trying to pin the crime on him. The teens realize they’re tracking a crime that weaves personal histories with large-scale deception.

Following the trail, the teens and Walker stage a tense hotel operation to receive the alleged stolen funds. Timing, nerve, and coordination are crucial as they attempt to flush out the culprit without exposing themselves to danger. The operation tests the group's unity under pressure.

During the hotel sequence, Miss Dawson is taken hostage by the mastermind behind the operation. The crisis forces Lexy and Jack to push forward despite fear, as they navigate corridors and doors in a race to protect her and uncover the truth. The tension heightens as every lead tightens the net around the conspiracy.

The man pulling the strings is Detective Meany, revealed to be Falco Grandville, Walker’s former bank boss from Arizona. He used the theft framing to mask his own crimes and to undermine Walker. The revelation reframes every earlier clue and places the students in immediate danger.

Mrs. Petrossian discloses she found a Canary Diamond brooch at Falco’s office and kept it, linking the brooch to the scheme and concealing the missing funds. Falco had purchased the brooch to mask the robbery and to frame Walker. The brooch serves as a tangible keystone tying personal greed to the larger crime.

With the truth laid bare, Walker is exonerated and freed from the shadow of the crime he didn’t commit. The community recognizes his innocence, and the teens’ persistence is vindicated. The moment marks a turning point from danger to justice and renewal.

In a moment of relief, Walker asks Miss Dawson to marry him, signaling a hopeful turn after the turmoil. The proposal cements a future beyond scandal, while the students’ support reinforces their bonds. This personal victory sits alongside the case’s resolution.

The film closes with a wedding and a warm scene in which Lexy, Jack, Jen, and Gabe share a moment of triumph. They walk together down the street, stepping toward a future built on truth, friendship, and courage. The final image underscores the power of teamwork and resilience.
