The Clue in the Old Album is the twenty-fourth volume in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series. It was first published in 1947 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. The actual author was ghostwriter Mildred Wirt Benson.
Nancy Drew witnesses a purse snatching and runs after the thief. She rescues the purse, but not its contents, then is asked by the owner, a doll collector, to do some detective work.
"The source of light will heal all ills, but a curse will follow him who takes it from the gypsies"
This is one of the clues Nancy is given to find an old album, a lost doll, and a missing gypsy violinist. The young sleuth never gives up her search, though she is poisoned by a French-swordsman doll, when she picks it up and is injected with a sleeping serum by a hidden needle. Nancy becomes light-headed and weak. Unable to resist the effects of the knock-out serum, Nancy faints. She is also run off the road in her car by an enemy, and sent many warnings to give up the case.
