- 3:32out in the old brownstone mansion at the corner of Fifth and Fourth. In
- 3:36the darkened laboratory, the strange whine of electricity sounds, and under the pale
- 3:40purple aura of ultra violet light, Nick Carter and Patsy play a strange jigsaw
- 3:45puzzle game with crimes. Wait a minute, peessy, m A S letter
- 3:51A matches the A and bequeathment. Yes, an exact duplicate. Make a
- 3:58note of that, all right? In progress? A word here on this
- 4:05slip mm hmm exactly duplicates the here and hereby becreas you got that, I've
- 4:12got it better and better. Ah see that word will and last will and
- 4:18testament Uh, a precise duplicate of the written will from this Thank your note.
- 4:24Who's that? Hi? A foals but even reporter him stuff in person?
- 4:27Why it's scycoy. Finally, interruption, masterminds the housekeeper Let me in,
- 4:31well, what's cooking? Good looking? Next? Testing the validity of
- 4:34a will, scuby, we're matching samples of the dead man's writing with the
- 4:39writing and the wheel all very interesting. Do they match precisely well? And
- 4:43the will is genuine? A on the contrary, the wheels of tudery.
- 4:45Huh, I'll turn off the ultra violet passing. But on the rights,
- 4:48hey, I don't call it, Nick. If they're writing in the will
- 4:51dovetails with other letters, doesn't that prove the same guy wrote folks Now Scotty.
- 4:56The fact that words and individual letters from old correspondence match words and letters
- 4:59in the will proofs someone forged the will by tracing the dead man's handwriting.
- 5:02Very clever, very clever. Indeed, it'll make a nice feature article.
- 5:06When I finished with my story on the howling horse, it's did you say,
- 5:11howling horse? Yes, beautiful. I'm on my way upstate to cover
- 5:15one of the craziest stories that ever hit the desk. I thought Nick might
- 5:18be interested. What did it's getting? Well, it seems there's a guy
- 5:21upstate named Lucas who had b. Lucas three degrees in medicine, archaeology,
- 5:26and natural philosophy, explored the Gobi Desert in thirty six. Yeah, the
- 5:29very same. But if Lucas must be pretty wealthy. It's got a biggest
- 5:32state, about seven hundred acres of forest and labor. What about that howling
- 5:36horse? You mentioned well as a story that Lucas brought back a couple of
- 5:40horses with him from one of his explorations, and they howled, nonsense.
- 5:44They also kill cathl ridiculous. These horses of doctor Lucas also have murdered a
- 5:49man. Oh no, well it's the story. I'm going to check.
- 5:53Are you interested, Nick and horses that murder men? Certainly? Am,
- 5:57here's my car. I should reach the Lucas estate. My let's go sit
- 6:11down. Mister Carter, ma'am. Thank you the other ten two. Thanks,
- 6:14I'm mighty happy to have you with us in the Burnham. Thank you
- 6:16very much. Chef Krain something he's too tough for you. I had a
- 6:19late chef, will you bitter? Been too tough for anybody except mister Carter
- 6:25here working out of the court in anyway you better explains. Yeah, well,
- 6:30let's shi. Luke is saying, amiable man, not my won shot.
- 6:33Keep yourself locked up in that estate. Nobody can get him, Nobody
- 6:38sees him. He kind of acts like he's scared of stuff hid. But
- 6:42he's a mighty powerful man in this county, got influential friends. My hands
- 6:46are tied. I can't bucket but you can, mister Carter. I hear
- 6:50you're a fighter that don't care who where the punches lam and I try to
- 6:55live up to that reputation. Chef train Now tell me about look as his
- 6:59horses. I don't know a thing. He brought them back with him about
- 7:01six months ago, moved him in in Horseman's nobody's seen them, But pretty
- 7:06soon people start talking about them horses howlding, they're sure about them howling yep.
- 7:12Then one or two folks seen one of them running around. Lucas is
- 7:15a safe, a big black creditt seen him at night, means ringer me.
- 7:20But pretty soon they started killing cattle, rip them apart with their teeth.
- 7:25Folks hued Lucas. He just laughed, told him they was crazy,
- 7:29swore he didn't own no horses. I see. Last week Jed Storm was
- 7:34killed on the road that passes Lucas's a State head was near Tornamo. Body
- 7:40all ripped the pieces. I figured maybe the law better step in. I
- 7:45had to pull every string I could to even get into Lucas's a State searched
- 7:48the place from top to bottom, house, barns, everything well, Sir
- 7:54Lucas was telling the truth, there ain't no horses there. You're sure a
- 7:58share man farmer before I'm a serf. You can full of farmer on things
- 8:01like that. All right, chaff, we'll start tonight and see where we
- 8:05can find. Just one warning, mister Carter. Maybe I sound kind of
- 8:09fantastic like, but believe me, I aimed in stretching the crew. You
- 8:13go slow, and you go careful. That Lucas is me them horses is
- 8:20deadly. Thanks for the warning, Sheriff. But I've met deadly killers before,
- 8:24and Nick is still here, which is more than you can say for
- 8:26most of the killers he's met. Oh. Oh, Crane's directions are right.
- 8:50This must be the road that skirts Lucas's estate. He'd arrived on the
- 8:54left, were off the side the house. Any minute now it's starts lights.
- 9:00Oh what's the program? Nick, you're going to fust ride him?
- 9:03Going to try? I don't know how tough Lucas really is. Maybe he's
- 9:05just bluffing, Sheriff crying, Nick, I can see myself to the left.
- 9:09Yeah, we're away skippers deep in the woods there, see Yeah,
- 9:13the lady's right, Nick, I see them. I must be Lucas at
- 9:16how all right, Yes, there's a gravel drive turning off the road.
- 9:20Here goes. I'll be more than interested to meet Lucas again. Oh you
- 9:26knowing it. Really I had a rather distasteful job of checking its credentials for
- 9:31the government some years ago. Intelligence work, believe me, for some nasty
- 9:35interview. Sick, someone's bombarding. It could be blown out. But anyway,
- 9:43there's a roadblock ahead. There's nothing. Looks like a bluff to me.
- 9:48Lucas is playing for keeps. I haven't give you five minutes to get
- 9:58that voice come from choosing a public dress speaker out on the ground. He's
- 10:01probably got the microphone in the house. You have five minutes to get out
- 10:09of five, apparently we haven't much choice. Well, let me take one
- 10:15man. Well that's your niece, it was, and raises a very curious
- 10:20question in a fantastic case. But back off to the road and start finding
- 10:24the answer to it. All right, it's far enough, let's get out.
- 10:37Okay, where are we now? Nick About half a mile past Lucas's
- 10:43house. We're going to cut into the woods from here then circle around to
- 10:46the house. Well, I got my flash light lead on the Knockna,
- 10:48no flash lights. We do this in the dark. I'll passing. I've
- 10:52been right in the car. If you want to, oh me, way,
- 10:54you talk as though you think I'm scared, Well aren't you? Yes,
- 10:58but I won't admit it all. I'll hold your hands, beautiful.
- 11:03I'm not that scared. Now listen, We've got to be as quiet as
- 11:05possible. Hey, do you think that we're going to meet any wild versus?
- 11:09Nick? I don't know it. Scubby, you haven't explained yet about
- 11:13Lucas talking and Chinese. Not sure I understand yet myself. Oh, I
- 11:16sure wish I'd covered the beauty contest instead of this. Stuy. Well everything
- 11:24listen, cheap sounds like howling that it is again hauling horses. I think
- 11:33nonsense, Big Carter said, Well, is it nonsense? Now? Holing
- 11:37horse? Hey, it's coming closer. Oh, we just stand here and
- 11:43wait, Nick, we are not I'm talking. I'm gonna be treat by
- 11:50Scubby is howling horse. I'm going to be using it, gutten to protect
- 11:52themself alone. He don't know whatever you do that clearing, Josh. I
- 12:00can see the silhouette, Yes, chasing a man. It's almost got him
- 12:03too quick. Knock step will be forward. We're too late. That no
- 12:11way I got your flis fight out come? He in flashes right ahead quick.
- 12:13I want to get a look at that horse and be still there.
- 12:15Right here. You are here. There's nothing, you know, nothing but
- 12:22a body of a man stroll there in the grass, a body without a
- 12:26hat. Brimley Nick paces the last few steps forward to examine the victim of
- 12:37a murder he could not prevent. Who is the dead man? How did
- 12:41Lucas fantastic creatures track and kill him? Why did Lucas cry a warning in
- 12:46Chinese? And Nick answered these questions in time we'll see in just a moment.
- 12:52Modern science is constantly achieving miracles, constantly finding new ways, better ways
- 12:58to do the things which must be done. And science has done its share
- 13:01of service for our American homemakers. Take for example, the three Great Linax
- 13:05Home Brightness, which are proving such an aid to women everywhere. There's Linux
- 13:11self polishing wax, for example, created by leading research chemists to give you
- 13:15the finest made from a brand new formula. Linux self polishing wax offers new
- 13:20beauty, new protection, new skid resistance for every floor surface in your home
- 13:26and Linux self polishing wax contains the greatest possible amount of real Carnavo wax for
- 13:31that handsome, satiny finish only real wax can give. What's more, the
- 13:35Underwriter's laboratories have proved by test that any linoleum, hardwood or rubber tile floor
- 13:41is actually less slippery after Linax self polishing wax has been applied. And of
- 13:46course, Linax self polishing wax saves time two ways, for it takes only
- 13:52a jiffy to apply and dries quickly, and then its beautiful protective surface saves
- 13:56you future work because it's so easy to keep clean. Choose genuine Linex self
- 14:03polishing wax and know what it is to use the finest. Ask your dealer
- 14:07now for all three great Linux home brightness. Give your home new beauty the
- 14:13easy Linux way. And now back to our story. The strange story of
- 14:24savage howling horses that hunt and kill men brought Nick Patsyen Scubby to the small
- 14:30upstate town of a Burnham. When Nick drives out to the state of Cbe
- 14:33Lucas, famous explorer who has brought the animals to America, he is warned
- 14:37off by Lucas, who shouts at the master detective in Chinese. When Nick,
- 14:41Patsy and Scobby attempted to steal into the estate on foot, they witness
- 14:45the tracking down and killing of a man by one of lucas savage creatures.
- 14:50Now in the blackness of a forest clearing, they examine the dead body.
- 14:54What unless this fellow is yes, head torn off completely Apparently doctor Lucas's man
- 15:01eating horse took it away with him. And did you hear the way at
- 15:03Holland it was like a lion or something. Well, that wasn't any lion
- 15:07or anything else that I ever heard of, you're writ Skelly. Wait a
- 15:11minute, well this is on what meck? Look at the gun this fellow
- 15:18was carrying. Huh, flying beside his right hand. With the love of
- 15:20Pete, what is it? Happens to be a Patterson Colt model of eighteen
- 15:24forty eight eighteen, give me one hundred years old? It's about it,
- 15:30said, one of the original Colt models, fined with percussion cats. Oh
- 15:33but that doesn't make sense to me. Why would a man defend himself with
- 15:35an antique like that? And if you remember, Skebby, that when Lucas
- 15:39warned us off. He talked in Chinese. It does make sense. Well,
- 15:43not to me, it doesn't. We're in a very few minutes.
- 15:45Come on, get up to Lucas's house. Why aren't you going to search
- 15:48that body for identification of something? No, they won't find any How do
- 15:52you know? I concentrating being quiet, shirly, Okay, put that flash
- 15:54out, Scully. Sure, I'll stand your code. Doctor Lucas coming pets
- 15:58may before villing you think true? Yeah, I can see the house light
- 16:03from here straight ahead. Yeah all right, quick now, Oh oh,
- 16:12I sure wish there was a move. They're not getting romantic, are you
- 16:17scuffy? Heck no, I'm just scared of the dark. Wait a minute,
- 16:19listen, it's a funny sounds like machinery. It's not the machinery.
- 16:26All right, let's go to the house. Take this path here, tike.
- 16:29That sounded awfully, famil. I just can't slice it smilar to you,
- 16:33scubby? Well, yeah, coming over the pia. Lucas has on
- 16:36the ground the pr quick into the house. Our French windows at the side
- 16:41look open. It's open. They're smashed like a truck way through them.
- 16:44So they are careful of broken glass. Oh, make a look at this
- 16:48room. Yeah, looked as if the truck drove through here too. Yeah.
- 16:52Oh, is doctor Lucas. I have a hunch something's happened to doctor
- 16:56Lucas patching something at accounts for the funny noise you hear over the PA.
- 17:00Come on, right, train's advice, vote for the lever. Yes,
- 17:07I rather expected this. It's your body strolling alongside that sonograph and at the
- 17:12needle running in the last groove, and the record that's making that strained sounds.
- 17:17I'm afraid doctor Lucas has played this ronograph for the last time. Better
- 17:21take the playing arm off the Record's guys, all right, Nickolas, let's
- 17:25have a look at his body. Bless of blood, body quite warm,
- 17:30killed very reasonably, the same way our friend back in the woods was killed,
- 17:36his head thrown off, only this time the head was left with the
- 17:38body. But this isn't got Lucas, Nick, look at the head.
- 17:41He's Chinese, Glory p You're right, Patsy's and this explains why we heard
- 17:47a warning in Chinese over the PA when we first drove up to the house.
- 17:49Right, Nick, Scotty, start that record again. This man couldn't
- 17:52talk English, so he had an English speaking record made to warn people off
- 17:56the ground, playing turn off the PA first. We'll hear it directly.
- 18:00This is private proper here. You are first passing on private proper here.
- 18:06I will give you five minutes to get out of here. What I tell
- 18:08you, Nick, that's the voice we heard. This is your last warning.

- 26:36chapter on that strange animal and a pamphlet and Chinese Dogs published by the Kwon
- 26:40Quan Company in Los Angeles nineteen forty four. It's one of the oldest defense
- 26:44breeds in the world and are so revered in Tibet that none has ever been
- 26:47allowed out of that country. Go see Jong means dog of Tibet. Oh,
- 26:52well, aren't there any pictures, Nick, No, the Tibetans do
- 26:55not permit picture to be taken, Patsy. All we have are the descriptions
- 26:59of various explorers from Marco Polo down All described the giant dog as being the
- 27:03size of a horse. Well it sure wasn't. There have been attempts to
- 27:06steal one of the mastiffs and bring them out of the country, but in
- 27:08each case a dog has either been stolen back or killed. To Doctor Lucas
- 27:12managed to steal Gokey Town right, brought it to his estate, and then
- 27:17lived in constant fear, knowing that Tibetans would never let him keep a dog
- 27:19anyw it Sooner or later they'd send men to kill it, and they did,
- 27:23and that's why he kept himself locked up. Precisely, Lucas made that
- 27:26recorded warning the playover his PA system whenever stranger drove up. It was undoubtedly
- 27:32worn by some sort of mechanical device that was set off by our entrant to
- 27:34the grounds. He also repeated it in Chinese to warn off any Chinese gunman
- 27:40who might have trailed him here. Then it really was Lucas. We heard,
- 27:44yes to see passy. The dog apparently turned savage and broke loose from
- 27:48the change with which it was confined. Lucas could not recapture it, so
- 27:52at roamed the estate, killing everything had met. Oh. In fact,
- 27:55right before our eyes we saw it kill a man that was mister Fang's number
- 27:59two assistant stalling around the grounds. The mastiff ran off with a dead man's
- 28:03head in his jaws, crashed into Lucas's house and attacked Lucas himself. Then
- 28:07it dropped the head of the Chinese. He tore up Lucas's head and rushed
- 28:11off with him. Exactly that's why you and Scubby leaped to the conclusion that
- 28:15the head we found alongside Lucas's body act would it belonged to that body.
- 28:18Well, when did you first begin to understand what was happening here? When
- 28:22I saw that the first victim had been carrying an old Patterson coat. There's
- 28:26only one section of the world that continues to use antique firearms fatly, and
- 28:30that's the mountain regions of China. In Tibet, you'll still find soldiers equipped
- 28:34the flintlocked rifles and those civil war weapons gone. Well, what about those
- 28:40killers from to Debt? They came out of the door mat and then I
- 28:41thought you were Lucas probably slipped off and started back from home. I'll never
- 28:45see them again, and there's no need to, really, they haven't been
- 28:48guilty of any crime. All the guilty parties in question have already paid and
- 28:52pulled. Well, Nick, that was certainly an unusual tale. What's next
- 28:56week's story going to be about? Next Weeken, we're going to meet us
- 29:00strange young man who, as far as anyone new, never touched alcohol at
- 29:03all, yet apparently came home intoxicated night after night when one evening he was
- 29:07murdered, And there was the evening he carried home within can openers seven feet
- 29:11long. And the murder was reviewed by a silkworm, a giant can opener
- 29:17and telltale silkworms. Sounds like a swell story. What's its title? Nick?

- 30:52I did this show, I was checking around to other episodes just may confirm
- 31:00the time, because it called to mind so many of those really fun early
- 31:06shows from nineteen forty three and early nineteen forty four, particularly with the return
- 31:14of Stubby here and a very interesting case and even a little bit at the
- 31:19end you felt like I felt like I was slightly educated, believe it or
- 31:23not, which isn't something you expect from Nick Carter, but a very fun
- 31:30case and not you know, definitely much more of a pulp fiction field than
- 31:34we've gotten from some of the other more recent episodes. All right, well,
