• 3:39
  times. Your pool rooms, I hang out for crooks and gangsters and kids.
• 3:45
  That's going wrong. Listen, Roy, if you're talking about this crawl,
• 3:52
  this guy goes out. Okay, Stan, look out, Roy,
• 3:59
  Oh you killed him with this black jack. Relaxed kid, he's just taking
• 4:05
  a nap. He'll be Okay. You shouldn't have hit him, Crow.
• 4:09
  He thought he was doing me a favor. I know, Stan, but
• 4:13
  luckily I thought you wanted a crack at the big time. I do no
• 4:17
  more than ten horned jobs on little candy stores for me. Okay, that's
• 4:24
  why I picture to go along with us on this job tonight. Sure,
• 4:27

• 4:32
  smoke. Yeah, thanks, Stan. Here, I'll give you a light.
• 4:39
  Sure. Oh that's Roy. Stan. He's coming to get into the
• 4:46
  closet, Billy, what in there? I don't want him to say it?

• 5:19
  to do is go home and check. You don't see him here, do
• 5:23
  you? Sure? Sure? Go ahead, look around and you can check
• 5:28
  the pool room on your way out. Help him up, krol A man's
• 5:32
  going home. Well, why didn't you come to me last night, Roy,
• 5:46
  instead of waiting until this morning? Well, I didn't think about it.
• 5:49
  I thought maybe Billy did leave the pool room, and maybe he was
• 5:53
  stolen someplace, afraid to come home. Because of the beacon Crow gave me,
• 5:57
  he wouldn't have stayed out all night. Oh I know it. Well,
• 6:00
  listen, mister Carter, I'm gonna tell you something. Last night,
• 6:04
  when Billy didn't show up by twelve o'clock, Mom couldn't stand it anymore,
• 6:09
  so I went out to look for him. I went back to the cay.
• 6:13
  Oh hello, Patsy, Oh Roy, I'm glad to see you.
• 6:16
  Oh thanks, Miss Bourne well, it's an excitement last night, wasn't there?
• 6:21
  What do you mean? A big hold up on Ninth Street, the
• 6:24
  big supermarket. They got away with seven thousand dollars. As the police goed,
• 6:30
  Roy as the police what had they found out about Stan Powers? What
• 6:35
  about him? He was murdered? What's that? That's what I started to
• 6:40
  tell you, mister Carter. When I went back to the pool room to
• 6:42
  look for Billy. I went into the back room, mister Powers was on
• 6:46
  the floor with a knife in his back, with a nie. Well didn't
• 6:51
  you report that to the police. Well, I was afraid, mister Carter.
• 6:54
  All I could see in my mind was was Billy mixed up in a
• 6:57
  killing? The police come about our house to ask a lot of questions.
• 7:01
  Mom, Broy, do you think Billy did it? No? I know
• 7:04
  he didn't, at least I don't. All right, all right, then,
• 7:09
  come on passing. We're going down to stand Power's pool rule. I'm
• 7:13
  going with you, mister Carr. Oh no, you stay right here,
• 7:15
  Roy. I'll bring it back a full report as soon as I find out
• 7:16
  what what the porter found Powers. Nick He came in to clean up about
• 7:31
  an hour ago, and uh boom, what time was he killed? Maddie
• 7:35
  Corner said, between eleven and one o'clock last night. Uh huh? Any
• 7:39
  idea what the motive might have been? Yeah, Patsy, do you think
• 7:42
  it was a double cross? Oh? We found these slips of paper on
• 7:46
  the floor, cash register receipt from the Ninth Street supermarket. Right, the
• 7:51
  job was pulled by Stan Powers and these gang. These receipts prove it.
• 7:56
  But why should stand Powers have been murdered? Open? Safe? She tell
• 7:59
  you? Why? Oh? I didn't notice it. Nick. Those crook's
• 8:03
  got away with seven thousand bucks last night. But they're ain't a nickel in
• 8:07
  that's safe or on Stan Powers? Now, Nick, somebody on Buddy,
• 8:13
  one of Stan's gang, probably want of that money and kill Stand to get
• 8:16
  it right? Right? If I look at the body, they're what you
• 8:18
  like, Nick, But make it snappy. The boys and the Morgill be
• 8:22
  here any minute to take it away. American here, Yeah, what's the
• 8:24
  matter? A good look at the handle of this knife? I want it
• 8:28
  did the killing I already did. It's a horn handled knife. When there's
• 8:33
  white powder in some of the hollows, Well, what do you suppose it
• 8:35
  is? Looks to me like, it's face powder, pussy And you think
• 8:39
  that a woman? Sure? I do, No, not so fast,
• 8:43
  Manny, men use powder after shaving. Huh oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:46
  that's right. But look, Nick, I still think this is the
• 8:50
  kind of powder a woman uses. That it was oneheard him which used that
• 8:54
  knife? And uh, look here, take a look at this cigarette lighter.
• 9:00
  What about it? We found it on the floor near Stale's body.
• 9:03
  M m Billy, ad you say, Nick said? Billy the name engraved
• 9:09
  on this ladder. I look, Nick, I asked you. Would a
• 9:13
  mug be seen with a dainty little lighter like this? Well that's a good
• 9:16
  point, Maddy. So I figure Billy could be a woman's name, William,
• 9:20
  it could be Nick, as it could be come on, all right
• 9:24
  with you? Hey, Hey, what's the wash? It's only two hundred
• 9:28
  and ninety nine days to Christmas? Matter. We've got some shopping to do,
• 9:30
  well, I be Do you think that cigarette lader belongs to Billy Turner?
• 9:35
  I'll let you know after I phone Deroy at the office. Okay,
• 9:39
  there's the phone booth over there. I want to use a phone that's not
• 9:41
  too close to the scene of this murder. Hello, this is Nick Carter?
• 10:00
  All right? This is Nick, mister Carter. What'd you find?
• 10:03
  Roy? Tell me? Did Billy own a cigarette ladder? Yeah? Describe
• 10:07
  it? Well? It looked like it was made of silver, and it
• 10:11
  was. It was small and pretty fancy. He left it on the table
• 10:13
  once in the house. I asked him where he got it? Was his
• 10:16
  name engraved on it? Yeah? Why, mister Carter? The police found
• 10:20
  it and Stand's office near Stand's body. What didn't you see it there last
• 10:24
  night? No? Do you think I'd have left it there? If I
• 10:26
  did, I saw the guy on the floor dead, So I beat it.
• 10:30
  Look mister on a cup saying Billy kill stand power? No, no,
• 10:33
  not yet. They're looking for someone else. I tell me, did
• 10:37
  Billy own a horn handled jack knife? No? Are you sure? Well?
• 10:41
  I'd have seen it if he had won? Mister Carter? All right?
• 10:43
  And what can you tell me about Crow? Well? Not much.
• 10:46
  He was about my height, five feet eleven. He had black hair and
• 10:50
  a dirty complexion. You know his real name Stanner or Billy mention it?
• 10:54
  No, no, they just called him Crow. Okay, I'll talk to
• 10:58
  you later in the meantime, stay in my office. Goodbye? Well,
• 11:03
  Nick, the ladder belongs to Billy. All right, that's bad. Yeah,
• 11:07
  the police of Tracey assured we're standing here and that'll leave them directly to
• 11:09
  Billy. Nick, are we going to look for Billy too? No?
• 11:13
  No, right now, I'm more interested in the powder and the handler that
• 11:16
  night than a guy named Crow. Nick sets out to find a man called
• 11:24
  Crow and learn the meaning of some white powder on a knife handle. Meanwhile,
• 11:28
  Matty and the police are tracing a cigarette lighter that will surely leave them
• 11:31
  for Billy Turner. We'll see what happens next in just a moment. Now
• 11:39
  back to the case of the Boy who Got Lost Today's adventure with Nick Carter.
• 11:46
  Nick Carter and Patsy Bowen, faced with the possibility that Billy Turner,
• 11:48
  a sixteen year old boy, may be implicated in the Knight murder of Stan
• 11:52
  Power as a gang leader, are trying desperately to run down the identity of
• 11:56
  Crow, the dead man's lieutenant, and to solve the little white powder on
• 12:01
  the handle of the murder Niel. In the meantime, in Crow's apartment near
• 12:03
  the center of town, Billy is having trouble. Just let me call my
• 12:09
  mom. Crow, I won't tell her where I am this, and kid,
• 12:11
  I'm doing this for your own good. To get down through your thick
• 12:16
  head and shut up. But I ain't been home since last night. Mama'll
• 12:18
  be worried sick. You are a pain in the neck. Maybe I ought
• 12:24
  to let you go all together, let the cups pick you up. But
• 12:26
  I didn't kill stand gop kidding will. I forgot my lighter and I went
• 12:31
  back for it. When I got there, Stan was lying on the floor
• 12:35
  dead. Sure sho, I didn't kill him, I tell you. I
• 12:37
  caught you bending over him, didn't I. I told your crow I was
• 12:41
  looking to see if he was dead. Look, Billy, I'm your pal
• 12:46
  and you don't have to lie to me. Why should I kill Stan?
• 12:48
  There's a lot of dough and stands office last night. Maybe you were planning
• 12:54
  on getting it for yourself. Yeah, nuts, I never went near that
• 12:58
  safe. It's because I walked in. I didn't have to swipe the dough.
• 13:01
  We were gonna split that seven thousand bucks in a couple of days.
• 13:03
  There is more than seven grand in that safe. There was another thirty five
• 13:07
  hundred. You wanted that too, didn't you? Hey, how do you
• 13:13
  know how much Stan had in his site? Huh yeah, how come you
• 13:16
  know all about that? W are you getting that? Kid? You killed
• 13:20
  Stan? You did it? No, wait a minute, I'm getting out
• 13:22
  of here. No, you're not going clove your breath. Cup boy.
• 13:26
  You got a reason for keeping you here, and it ain't because I like
• 13:30
  you. Why don't you let me go? The cops pick you up.
• 13:31
  You get stretched for murder and you talk. You're only your kid. You
• 13:35
  tell the cops about me and the other guys being in on the job at
• 13:39
  the supermarket. That makes me a four time loser, and I go up
• 13:43
  for life. No nobody can make me talk. Nobody's gonna get the chance.
• 13:46
  I protect you, and that way I'm protecting myself. I don't need
• 13:50
  protection from nobody except you. Are you little how what's the idea You've got
• 13:56
  to learn to appreciate your pals. Slapping me around ain't gonna change the look
• 14:03
  I order. I'll answer that, kid, Okay, answer it? Yeah
• 14:11
  talking, What do you know anything else? Okay? Tell the guys not
• 14:20
  to worry. They'll never get him. Yeah, yeah, you can take
• 14:26
  my word for it. That was bad news. Billy. What do you
• 14:31
  mean your name's in all the newspapers. What are you giving me? Crow?
• 14:35
  The caps have got your cigarette lighter. They got my lighter. Yeah,
• 14:37
  they found in this Dan's body. They're looking for the owner. Sheee,
• 14:41
  they'll say I killed Stan. They can't let him pick you up.
• 14:43
  And you gotta find another hideout. What am I gonna do? Don't worry,
• 14:50
  kid, They'll never find you. Never. Oh, Nick, you
• 15:03
  must have questioned one hundred people trying to find out about that guy Crouw at
• 15:07
  least one hundred, and nobody admitted he even heard of him. Well,
• 15:11
  maybe Mad able to tell us he can't have somebody else here a police head
• 15:16
  quarters, can he? They're on a chance. Oh, never mind here
• 15:20
  now, I've just been trying to get you, Nick. It's on your
• 15:24
  mind, Maddy. We traced that cigarette letter. Oh you did? Huh?
• 15:30
  Yeah, blood, he is here, and we thought bought in a
• 15:33
  store on the West Side. And at least I'm glad it's bought. You're
• 15:37
  not gonna like this, Nick, but we've got a warrant out for the
• 15:41
  arrest of Billy Turner. Sergeant. He's only sixteen, sixteen or sixty murderers,
• 15:46
  murder pats, Sorry about it. Nick, I found out he's the
• 15:50
  brother of Roy Turner, one of the kids in your boys club. Oh,
• 15:56
  and you've been to his home. Yeah, I talked to their mother.
• 15:58
  Oh that you a woman. Well, I guess you had to know
• 16:02
  sooner or later. I suppose so. But why would Billy want to kill
• 16:07
  Sang? All I know is that the safe was opened, and that the
• 16:10
  seven thousand that gang took from the Supermarketer's goal on it. Maddy, that
• 16:14
  doesn't if you ask me, Nick, we'll find that the guy who kills
• 16:17
  Stan and took the dough is Billy Turner. Oh maybe. Oh by the
• 16:22
  way, Maddie, I found out what that white potter was. Yeah,
• 16:25
  little chemical analysis reveals that it's common, ordinary flower, the kind you make
• 16:30
  bread with. Oh your nuts, Nick, Why should there be flower on
• 16:33
  the handle of that knife? The question I can't answer yet, but that's
• 16:37
  what it is. Look, don't tell me Billy Turner is a baker as
• 16:40
  well as a crook. Billy's no crook, even I can see that.
• 16:44
  Well, I can't say, Maddie, what do you know about a man
• 16:45
  named crow? Crow? Crow? Who? If I knew that, I'd
• 16:49
  be on my way to meet him. Look, what's he gonna do with
• 16:52
  this claim? Remember it stands Gang and Roy Turner's armon stands office last night,
• 16:56
  Nick, have you been holding out on me? What was by doing
• 17:00
  that? Trying to get better to go home with him? Cro knocked him
• 17:02
  out with a black jack, He blocked out Roy. Yeah? Why didn't
• 17:06
  you tell me this before? Nick? I'll say it does Crow something to
• 17:12
  you made? Why don't you ask me to remember a guy named Joe might
• 17:18
  be a lot easier. All right, I've to be saving time by asking
• 17:21
  you. But now I got to let me get Roy down here for a
• 17:22
  look at the Rogues gallery. If he saw the guy face to face the
• 17:26
  order to be able to pick him out. But they'll take I know it.
• 17:30
  I don't know it. Might say Billy turn her a lot of years.
• 17:33
  If he happens to be innocent. That's him, mister Carker. This
• 17:45
  is a picture of Crow. I was just beginning to give up, hope,
• 17:48
  Roy, you're sure this is Crow? Yeah? Yeah, I know
• 17:51
  him any place? Well, Man, this character is Philip Jackson alias Jack
• 17:55
  Phillips alias Crow Jackson, and he's the guy who kills Stan Powers wait him
• 18:00
  and at Roy, Oh, do you know that well, because he tried
• 18:03
  to kill me. Isn't that enough? No? You went the Stands place
• 18:07
  to get Billy, didn't you. You told him, mister Carter, I
• 18:11
  had to boyd all right, all right, I went there, but Billy
• 18:15
  wouldn't come home with me. I had an argument with Stan and then and
• 18:18
  then you went out like a light. Well, Crow came at me from
• 18:22
  behind. I never had a chance. Maybe you got a motive for killing
• 18:27
  Stan, Roy Me. Now look here, Maddie, why not Nick?
• 18:32
  He found out the stand was making a crook out of his kid brother.
• 18:34
  He couldn't get Billy to quit the gang, so I killed Stand and praying
• 18:37
  Billy. Is that your logic? Meddie? No, he just didn't notice
• 18:41
  his kid brother's light up. Ah, you're not. I'll take it easy
• 18:44
  to take it either. Roy. Listen to Maddie. I want you and
• 18:45
  his picture of Crow to take a trip with me. Yeah where too,
• 18:48
  down to the supermarket. I like the man I did to see this picture.
• 18:51
  Then you may have a reason to go after Crow for armed robbery at
• 18:53
  least. Okay, okay, but this boy stays here. Is he under
• 18:56
  arrest? Diget? Yeah, Patsy, But I want to know where he
• 18:59
  is if I happened to need him. All right, mister, is the
• 19:11
  man in this picture one of the guys that held up this market last night?
• 19:15
  Well, I think so, officer, But can't you be sure.
• 19:18
  I'd be plenty sure, miss if the color of his hair was different colour
• 19:22
  it's hairy? You mean he wasn't black, it was white. That's sick,
• 19:26
  Maddie. That's why there was flower on the knife handle. Come again,
• 19:29
  he didn't have a knife, he had a gun. And we're talking
• 19:30
  about another crime. Mister Johnson, thanks very much have been of great help,
• 19:33
  can I I don't understand if we get held. All we've got to
• 19:37
  do now is to get Crow Jackson or whatever other name he might be using
• 19:41
  this week. And Nick, what's this about? You know why there was
• 19:45
  flower on the handle of that knife, Maddie. Flower is much better than
• 19:48
  paste butter for making black hair look white. It's fixed better by sure Crow
• 19:52
  used it after the skull. Well, all right, and that's going to
• 19:53
  land him in the hot seat if we ever find him. Maddie, don't
• 19:56
  know whether to look for him now. Look, Nick, I don't already
• 20:00
  every crook's address around in my notebook. Maybe not, but the probation department
• 20:03
  does. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 20:04
  I was just going for yeah, yeah, yeah, that's his favorite matter.
• 20:07
  You are red Crow for robbery, and I'll see that he's convicted for
• 20:11
  murder. Seems as though Crow is playing hard to get me. I was
• 20:26
  only a door and we've got to wark. Come on, Mattie, we
• 20:29
  need muscles. Yeah, okay, let's go. Heybody here, we should
• 20:38
  have known that a guy with a murder rap staring him in the face would
• 20:41
  lay him out of his that's the same I want to Nick, I'll get
• 20:45
  out of general. Wait a minute, I want to look around. What
• 20:48
  what? You never can tell that you're fine? Okay, okay, but
• 20:51
  if you think I wait a minute. Wait. Look two people were in
• 20:53
  this room and they left him a few minutes before we got here. Brother,
• 20:56
  I've seen you pull some rabbits out of a hat, but now you're
• 20:59
  trying. Look, I'm calling headquarters. I look at that cigarette and the
• 21:03
  astro. Huh why it's still smooth? Okay? Okay, Nick, how
• 21:07
  do you figure there were two people here because there are two different brands of
• 21:10
  cigarettes and the ashtray? Yeah yeah, Billy turned to smoke one of them.
• 21:14
  Oh but Nick, you don't know what Brian Billy smokes. I have
• 21:17
  to know that. What do you mean? Look here at the underside of
• 21:21
  there's half smoked cigarette. Why somebody wrote silly on it and pencil and it
• 21:26
  was Billy who was here with Krow looks that way. Hey, wait a
• 21:30
  minute minute, I know what this is here on the table. Crowe probably
• 21:36
  left his forwarding address. No he didn't, But somebody left this drawing.
• 21:40
  Here's a funny kind of drawing. If you ask me, it's doodling if
• 21:44
  you ask me, yeah, yeah, I look at this odd shaped figure
• 21:47
  here, Maddie and this thing inside it. Think somebody's idea of a tree.
• 21:52
  And look at the other figure in a circle with a swirl inside.
• 21:56
  Maybe that odd shaped figure could be a tree an island, of course,
• 22:03
  maybe this is a message. Knots this drawing the one you call doodling.
• 22:07
  We'll never win an out cast. No, but it tells me exactly where
• 22:10
  a Crow and Billy went. I'm tired, Crow, I gotta rest for
• 22:29
  a minute, he Brow, and kid, you'll have plenty of time to
• 22:33
  rest later. You think the cops got your apartment by now, if your
• 22:37
  wise guy brother told him about me, they have I should have knocked him
• 22:41
  off. He was only trying to help me. Crow, give me more
• 22:45
  with the left door, kid, huh, the left door pretty dark.
• 22:49
  But we're heading for the island. The way we're going that way, we're
• 22:52
  making a detour, Billy. If I do like you say, we'll head
• 22:56
  right into the whirlpool. You catch on, kid, and that's where you
• 23:02
  get off. Oh, you ain't planning a rass, right, kid.
• 23:07
  The cops will find you're floating around in a couple of days and they'll close
• 23:11
  the book and say you couldn't face a murder rap. I knew you were
• 23:17
  dirty, Crow, but my head, kid and row, I'll tell you
• 23:21
  when they jump, you'll tell me nothing, white guy. If I drown,
• 23:23
  you'll drown with me. I got the ords, see, and I
• 23:29
  got this black jack kid, Billy, why you lousy? Dark night?
• 23:33
  And we're out here in the middle of the channel. Nobody can see it,
• 23:37
  so it looks like you go overboard. When I say THO, get
• 23:41
  it, Billy turned her heads toward death of the channel, and no wonder
• 23:52
  whom he can call for help. It's within hearing distis we'll see what happens
• 23:55
  next in just a minute. Now for the conclusion of the case of the
• 24:03
  Boy who got lost Today's adventure with Nick Carter. It is a few minutes
• 24:08
  later and Nick, Patsy and Matty are in a boat of police launch heading
• 24:11
  toward the island, their eyes fixed on the water, which is lighted by
• 24:15
  the boat starts light If that starts like fulling, Mattie, you must be
• 24:19
  here somewhere. There's the island of ahead, Nick, But I don't see
• 24:23
  them. There must have used a motor boat. Have to be a past
• 24:26
  one, Patsy. They couldn't have been more than a few minutes ahead of
• 24:29
  us. Hey, you be sure this is the right place, Nick.
• 24:33
  You know of any other whirlpool around here? Well? No, but there
• 24:36
  could be one. Maybe you know of any other island shaped like a drawing
• 24:40
  Billy left? Well no, no, I don't make but that doesn't lean
• 24:42
  the right one. Or you pet the island and the whirlpool together. You
• 24:45
  have to admit their Okay, okay, you where you win? This must
• 24:51
  be the place. Come on, come on, Mattie, can't you get
• 24:52
  a little more life into this cup? Look she's riding at top speed.
• 24:56
  Now, Nick, after all, she ain't it Hey, Clara, we'll
• 25:02
  find out. Yeah, sure, Kick, that must be done there in
• 25:07
  that rowboat. Yeah there two minutes and they're fighting fitted up Many that rowboat
• 25:11
  moving toward the loo. I'll fight this kickself fighting a lot of him.
• 25:17
  Got a gun, I need a hit. Oh, so he wants to
• 25:21
  play. That's what it looks like. He did take the wheel. This
• 25:23
  is a game cooking play. I got it. Many, Joy's a lousy
• 25:27
  shut the church light and design. Allow'll give this cookie a lesson and how
• 25:33
  to shoot you ahead of me? So shooting Many, and I hope he's
• 25:37
  alive when we got our hands on him. The idea of Crow taking Billy
• 25:51
  out of ground him in the whirl pools what some people won't do for an
• 25:55
  alibi. Yeah, Paul, they're all wasted motion. After Crow gets out
• 26:00
  the hospital is going to stand trial for murder, and after that he'll never
• 26:03
  need money again. That ten thousand dollars the police found stuff in his pocket
• 26:07
  should be enough to convict him. Yeah, and the flower particles we found
• 26:11
  on the inside of his coat and on his shirt collar. Right, Oh,
• 26:17
  what do you think will happen to Billy. Well, he admitted taking
• 26:19
  part in the supermarket hold up and a few others. Great Billy is going
• 26:23
  away for a while. It's a shame to a sixteen year old kid.
• 26:27
  I'll bet you haven't got an idea that Billy won't be going too long.
• 26:32
  And when he comes back, he's going to feel the way his brother Roy
• 26:34
  does about what's right and what's wrong. I hope. So you wait and
• 26:37
  see, we'll have him in the boys club yet, Nick, what about
• 26:52
  next week's benk Just a minute, Michael, I want to ask you a
• 26:53
  question. When are we going to announce the winners of the new nineteen forty
• 26:57
  eight forty? Then come back to me. One of the oddest things about
• 27:03
  these stories, particularly a Nick Carter when encouraging the kids to, you know,
• 27:12
  stick to a lawful life avoid crime, is that there's this episode where
• 27:21
  Nick is kind of playing fast and loose with the police and letting Maddie run
• 27:26
  down all these blond alleys. I am a little disappointed we didn't find out
• 27:30
  who won that new Ford, but that's what happens when we're dealing with so
• 27:34
  many old time radio recordings that are missing portions. So thankfully we do have
• 27:40
  the whole plot there. And I should mention that we did have yet another
• 27:44
  lost episode between last week's show and this week's in this case it was the
• 27:48
  case of the Quong Lead Dagger. Well, I will go ahead and cover
