As Nancy has been asked to investigate a stolen carousel horse in an amusement park, you take on the task of helping her once again solve a crime. It turns out that someone has stolen a particular horse from the carousel, not necessarily one that would be extremely valuable, but what might be inside of the horse? As Nancy Drew investigates, she discovers that there is more to just what appears on the surface of each of the Amusement Park personnel!

Immediately step back, when you can. Go back up the steps and click on the belly of Spooky Ten. Enter the letters S-P-A-T-Z-I and place the brass ring on the arm. A trap door opens. Look left and go down the stairs. After you've fallen, pick up the jewels and the note addressed to Joy. Put those items in your inventory. Look right and enter the doors. Look at the NIGHTSHADE horse and the forgery being made. Look at the e-mail correspondence sitting on the desk to the right of the computer. Exit the door. Meet Elliott there. During your conversation, you'll have two choices. Select: "That's right! You want 'em? Here!"

When you regain control of your movements, go through the door and up the stairs. Elliott will come for you. Turn to Spooky Ten and remove the brass ring! Elliott will fall down the trap door.
