After the second film, Warner Bros. assigned the third film, originally titled "Nancy Drew Steps Out", to Eddie Anderson and Charles Perry; like White, they were replaced under unclear circumstances. Gamet was once again re-hired to write for the series, and completed writing the eight films. In late 1939, Warner Bros. decided to eliminate their double feature setup, thus cancelling the "Nancy Drew" film series. Although they initially announced the "Nancy Drew" series would be converted into two-reelers, they cancelled those plans days later. Gamet had at least written the fifth and sixth film, and the fifth may have been produced. Frankie Thomas stated that he believes he and Granville had made five films, not four, while Harriet Adams wrote in August 1939 to Mildred Wirt, the ghostwriter of the books at the time, that "three have been shown in this area, and I have just heard that a fifth is in production." In addition, Gamet had reportedly written a sixth film.
