5:26
rolling. That's why I'm here, mister Wrangold Marry. I'm amazed that at
5:30
least one of your cops wasn't bright enough to have seen through this morny moving
5:32
picture business. Or don't rub it in, Nick, please, my headquarters
5:36
ever approached at all? Never the individual cops were the only ones they contacted.
5:41
One million dollars a worth the beautiful stones they took right out of the
5:45
mainsake and killed. And I case you don't you carry insurance and your jewels
5:47
with Ryan gup? Sure I carry insurance, but I lose all my stocks
5:51
dolls. Did you know about this moving picture business and events? Sure?
5:57
I did about eleven o'clock this morning. I who said he was Fred Harland,
6:00
not the wrector for Colossal Pictures come in and asked me that they use
6:04
my store for making a movie. Said they wanted that one story building like
6:09
mine, not too big but important. I said, would the sign over
6:13
the store showing the picture? And he said yes? So I told him,
6:15
Okay, this man who said he was Harlem, have any credentials?
6:18
Oh? Sure, sure? His papers was good Colossal Pictures, it said,
6:23
who is here with you? At the time? There was me,
6:26
my nephew, mister Green and my case. You what does Harlem look like?
6:30
Well, a little bigger than me, blonde hair, good looking,
6:33
but forty five. Maybe it was wearing sunglasses, tarleywood guns. You keep
6:40
the safe open or clothes during the day. All this it's closed so much
6:43
juice. It contains when these wants something to be unlock it, take on
6:46
what you want and then click closet and lock it again. Who had the
6:50
combination? Me, my nephew, lest In, my casha anobody else?
6:55
Keep the burglar larm on or off during the day. Oh, this is
6:58
han. We have a button the tine it up and began to get in.
7:00
See why, Look the alarm is still armed. Why didn't it go
7:04
off? And the safe was opened, the limb wasn't turned off. We
7:06
can be sure the cash here didn't open the safe up. See huh,
7:12
here's right. The alarm didn't work. What you got, Nick, the
7:14
alarm wires and cut. He's taken out of it to make sure. Mistake.
7:17
Hey, Nick, Since the safe was enforced open and the cashier didn't
7:23
open it, that proves the crooks had the combination. Mister Ryan Gold,
7:27
you say only the three of you with the combination, that's right, and
7:30
one of you three helped in this robbery and the cashier is dead but lets
7:31
him out. I should say, then you think me or Leslie, we
7:34
should rob ourselves. Been done before. I'll come in, Come in.
7:40
I got here as quick as I could, mister Ryan Gore. Oh you
7:43
I'll Mickey Armduice to the store detective. What were you doing while they pulled
7:46
off this fast job. I'm off on Monday, Starge and I worked Sundays
7:49
as watchman and Lester takes over for me on Monday. Oh, mister Ryan
7:53
Gold called me, so I take right down the seat. There's anything I
7:56
could do? I don't think so. Thanks. By the way, where
7:58
is Leicester? Since the rob away? I ain't seen him the nather.
8:01
Let me know when it comes back, will you. I'd like to talk
8:03
to him. Sure, shoot right there, I tell you Walter was the
8:05
sound truck, a Colossal truck, No nigger, I noticed the team from
8:09
the Kramer's Hound Equipment company. Why that's Traine. You think that if Colossal
8:13
was doing the job, they furnished their own drug. Colossal had nothing to
8:16
do with it. Nick, Wait checked that part was as holy as the
8:20
rest of it. Maybe there ain't no Fred harmond E, isn't Nick,
8:24
That's the odd thing about this WELDO. There is a Fred Harley. Huh.
8:26
But there was years ago, used to be top director in the Colossal
8:30
lot. Maybe this wasn't that hardy. That thought occurred to me too,
8:33
Maddie. Well, we've done all we can't hear he said? There were
8:37
no fingerprints. My men couldn't find one anywhere. No, it was a
8:41
slick and let's go see you leader, mister Wranghold. Yes, sure,
8:45
sure, matter y. I suggest you have some of you men check up
8:50
on this rangeo. His nephew is Lester Green. Yeah. Also check the
8:52
Cramer's sound Equipment people see if they can help us. Why do and I
8:56
are going to drop in on Scubby and see what he can take up for
8:58
us in fred Harmon right, mat be seeing it now? Mister Kramer ain't
9:11
here now when will you be? But I know, Look, have you
9:16
seen a fellow with brown wavy hair around here in the last couple of days?
9:20
Bron wavy hair? Yeah? I wish my hair was wavy. I
9:22
tried my sister's hair crow stop that ending no good? Did you see that
9:26
guy around? Maybe I should have wore a hairnet like she does? And
9:31
which can you answer me a plain, simple question where we'll go ahead,
9:35
ask me a question. Look, has a guy with brown wavy hair been
9:39
around here lately? The fellow directed the movie that's known had wavy hair,
9:43
that's the one I mean. Have you seen him? Yeah? He was
9:46
directing the crooks and they shot off guns and a woman came rushing out and
9:50
yeo martyr. But she didn't fool me. I'm too smart. Yeah,
9:52
yeah, I'll see. She said somebody had been killed, but I knew
9:54
better. A man was killed. That's why I willed you. Euh,
9:58
well, maybe you've never been to the movie. Say shoot a guy and
10:00
blood buns wall down and wore down. That's only catch. Why you dumb
10:05
half with a dope you want to hanging around? Why Len's to go home?
10:11
I told you not to hang around the autumn. Hey you Ted Kramer?
10:15
Yes here I am. What can I do for you? I'm maths
10:16
and homicide. Oh you seen a man with blonde wavy hair around here racing?
10:20
Or you must meet Fred Hallan, the movie director. Yeah that's the
10:24
one. Yeah, sure, he was in here yesterday. I hired my
10:26
sound truck. He tells you anything about himself. Why he said he was
10:30
no time director. He showed me his credentials, said he was doing a
10:33
John for a Colossal, but they weren't finishing the truck because the job was
10:35
too small. He had to finish the camera man too. Know who he
10:39
was? Yeah, he's a friend of mine. I recommended him, and
10:41
Harland hired him. John Goodman too does a lot of picture worth. Uh
10:45
what did this Harland look like? Oh? Five ten, good looking man
10:50
of about forty five. I'd say, Oh, wore big Hollywood sunglasses.
10:56
But it was raining yesterday. Yeah, I know, but you know these
10:58
Hollywood That's all right. He'd tell you anything about the job he was gonna
11:03
do. Yeah he did. He was all excited about it. He said
11:05
he was just shooting a few scenes, but it would give him a chance
11:07
to show that he was still a good director. He'll try to make him
11:09
come back, he said, your truck's not back yet. No, no,
11:13
he said he'd probably keep it all day. Well, okay, thanks
11:16
sir, see you later. Well the yarn it is everything I can find
11:31
in the files about Fred Harland. Thanks Gubby. He look at the bunches
11:35
tough hees got here. That Harland must have been quite a guy. Funny
11:39
sure was. Oh, well you take these things. Take the yep,
11:43
I'll go through these others. Oh, here's a picture of the guy,
11:48
nick. Let me see that's the guy. That's the lad who directed the
11:52
movie this morning. Sure as you're a foot high. Yes, the data
11:56
this taken fifteen years ago. No changing his lucks in fifteen years. I
12:03
wish I could do that. Nobody can do that, scuddy. And that's
12:05
what interesting. Yeah, he had a higher school tool to throw anything for
12:11
publicity. Yeah. See, here's an article about him and his fingerprints through
12:16
He didn't miss it, dick, Let me have that wall. Oh here
12:20
the lasts Dick reports of his accident. The follow up story, accident serious,
12:26
almost fatal. Doctor said he suddenly cracked up while he was driving,
12:30
but over an embankment. It was badly broken up. Let me see those,
12:33

12:39

12:58
today when I'm not sure. Spent months in the California Medical Hospital under the
13:05

13:09
out of sight after that. All right, thanks, That helps a lot,
13:11
And I'll call in the office and see what's happened there. Then we
13:13

16:25
Straight ahead to the next gas station and turn right. Maybe this is
16:29
just we're going to as a pooney, Nick, just because Harlan gave it
16:33
to the man who rented the Seagan from God. Don't prove he really lives
16:36

16:55
five gallons? Okay, By the way, you're having an other man by
16:57
the name of Fred Harland lived around here, Harlan talking. It's about half

a mile off his float. Seen him lots of time, good looking,
17:07
power, grown, wavy hair, about my height. Were's big sunglasses,
17:11
Yeah, that's the badder. Does he always wear those sunglasses for sure all
17:15

17:21
had a bad pass in his left eye. Yes, he don't want nobody
17:25

17:30
Always alone when he's coming here. You don't want anything else better at
17:34
Okay? You about his business? Yeah, he was there a couple of
17:41
days ago. Nor mean he wants moving. Director said he was gone to
17:45
have chance to make a bigture and walk back against the same guy. Right
17:51
and it is hollering. Have you seen him in the last few hours?
17:55
No, he went out to hear this morning early. I ain't seen him.
18:00
Why his dog is still there though I hear him basking a while back.
18:04
I mean creator that dog Arlam told me once I better keep away from
18:08
his place if I didn't want to get that up. I say, how
18:12
much roll away? Six gallons gas is a dollar twenty? You're a Riot's
18:18
all right here? You are? You got anything to eat here? I
18:21
got some hot dogs and some candy bar hot dogs gems for me. Give
18:26
me too. You haven't misted our cordsl on them. Put them both on.
18:30
I ain't for s any pickle. Two give me two hot dogs,
18:33
no muster or anything, or even a road just to plant franks too,
18:37
without no laws, no nothing here you slain. That's right. It seems
18:44
to me you've been crazy, but it's your pisiness. You never ate them
18:48
things. I don't. I'm buying them for crimes. I hope he likes
18:52
them. Nick, it's almost dark here under these trees. It's in a
19:07
very attractive place. Hard and I must be the dog he told us about.
19:11
Yeah, the dog. I hope you don't decide to take a bite
19:15
down to my lady. But my plan goes right well. And this dog
19:18
won't take a bite on of either of us. Let's say it harss home,
19:29
no on here of the dog. I let's say if we can get
19:30
this door open. This is easy, you know what? How I open
19:40
the door just a crack like this and give mister Fred Harlan's dog and the
19:45
ladies I bought one lies dog. That's you're hungry. Yeah, see how
19:48
these tastes. You think you're going to be as powerful life because you bring
19:52
him a little hot dogs? You're crazy? Nick, Perhaps and perhaps not
19:59
I'm feeling tired. Okay, well I down, take a little nap.
20:03
That's the way I close your eyes. See what you doing? Nick?
20:07
hYP the tsing him and now waking open the door all the way and walk
20:11
in with a holy macro. That hound is dead to the world. But
20:15
what did you do to me? That's better than two hot dogs they brought
20:18
up the gas station. That's all. You're needing them too, Wienis did
20:22
that to him? These two Wii needs, Well, they had a couple
20:23
of knockout drops in them. There'll be your monkeys who can say what with
20:27
the planes here? This room hasn't been used recently. Try the next one.
20:33
No, this one ain't here, just just thicker than the work,
20:38
says the kitchen. Yeah, I use this room all right. Well miss,
20:44
if you start hunting for clues in this place, you got yourself an
20:47
all night job and I can't spend that much time on it. Well,
20:49
let's have a look upstairs. Yeah you know that. They at the gas
20:53
station said, he's never spent much time here, but maybe he just lived
20:56
in one room in the kitchen. I think you're right, yes, And
21:03
this is undoubtedly the room he used when he was here. Do you suppose
21:06
the crooks talked Harlowing into a deal and then then boot them off when they
21:08
were through with them? Although the fact that the man who ran this year
21:11
looked like the Harland of fifteen years ago leads me to believe that there's been
21:15
an impersonation. Yeah, but ooh impersonated who That's what I'm trying to find
21:19
out. Now, first, let's pick out some good fingerprints should be plenty
21:25
of under this dressing table. Yeah, yeah, yeah, left them off
21:30
with the piles. You mean they assured me the other night. Yes,
21:34
you're the close god stake. Yo. Did you notice all the make up
21:38
he's got here? Yes? And there's several fixures here that looked like those
21:42
taking fifteen years ago, you know, Yeah, looks as if they'd been
21:47
used as models from making up here. What's this hair? Blonde, wavy
21:56
hair? Hey, that's what we're looking for. Yes, we're getting somewhere.
22:03
While all these hairs didn't come out of the head, they came up
22:07
a wig off in a wig how do you know, have no roots on
22:10
them? Maybe a wig? Uh? Oh? I know that was an
22:14
impersonation? Oh, nick, Nick, just happen to see this here in
22:18
the waste basket. What is it? It's a piece of ramping papers from
22:22
rain Gold's jewelry to it. Why do you see what it says on it?
22:26
Here is to be card for Yes, look at the name of the
22:30
one who was to do the calling. Yeah. Well, well what's the
22:34
connection between him and Holland? Nick? A very strong one. I believe
22:37
he got any ideas I have. Right now, we're going back to the
22:41
office together up with los Antwick cam and you're gonna bring Holland's dog along with
22:45
you? Bring the dog? Are you crazy? Nick? Maybe I am?
22:48
I bring him along? Got the same And when they hauled the truck
23:00
up out of delivered, they found this megaphone in it and it has fingerprints
23:03
on it. You mean the water didn't wash him off? Water doesn't hurt
23:07
Prince Waldo Patsy. Did you get a picture of them? Uh? Huh?
23:10
Sergian Madison gave me one here. Why did I put that news picture
23:15
as here? It is? Ah, the prince and the megaphone matched the
23:23
picture of Harland's prince exactly? Didn't pray Gully naked? Was the original Holland?
23:29
Who did the job? Is that good of badness, anything that helped
23:33
solve the case. It's good fancy and if Holland himself did it, it's
23:36
certainly one step near the end. Nick Carter's office, Patty Dawn stinking,
23:41
Oh he is, that's anotherment place I put mister Carter on and niggas doctor
23:45
Wilson of the California Hospital. He's the one who treated Holland after his accident.
23:49
Oh, yes, all right, it isn't yes, uh huh,
23:56
I see, wouldn't the recognized him? Huh? As course, But doctor,
24:03
do you know where he went after he left the hospital? Oh?
24:07
He did? I see. Well, thanks very much, doctor for taking
24:14
the time to call me like this. I really appreciate it. Good bye,
24:18
well me. Just as we suspect him, Hardam left the hospital.
24:21
Would have been difficult for even his old friends to have recognized him. Badly
24:23
cut about the head and it lost over fifty pounds. Doctor Wilson said he
24:26
was in pretty bad shape, and he came back here and lived. Nick
24:30
Nika, I'm getting all balled up here. If Harland actually is horran,
24:37
he couldn't look the way he did fifteen years ago before the accident. But
24:40
if he does look the way he did them. He can't really be harleaned.
24:44
Which it is, old boy? You are kaying of that punt as
24:48
he called Mary, and tell him to meet us a grand ghost store while
24:51
you have the dog. He's too sleeping glory by. He's a means un
24:55
of a good that one. Okay, put him on your arm and let's
24:56
go. Put him in your armond that's going. It's all I can do
25:00
to lift the brute on the pool. Nah, don't cry for those,
25:04
Just be glad. It isn't a great day a great aw nuts, Come
25:10
on you, Hi'm ready earnt it brought Leicester too well? Excellent? Yeah,
25:25
I thought we might as well all be here for the fireworks. Tell
25:27
mister Gobby you got news, cruck, Yes I have, mister Rangold,
25:32
I have news the solution of the case in the name of the murderer.
25:34
You hear that, Mickey. That's the kind of a detective. Year should
25:37
be the way you should catch more people stealing in my store. Maybe what
25:41
you do it, mister curler. I don't mind learning something when I can.
25:45
I studied the facts and found out more facts. I discovered that this
25:48
robbery today was the result of years probably it's careful planning. I'm leaving a
25:52
double life, the killer being himself half the time, and somebody else to
25:56
that. I learned that a man was so badly broken through a nervous collapse
26:00
and an automobile erected his own friends wouldn't have known him. And he traded
26:04
on that fact, got himself a job of trust and confidence. In fact,
26:07
he became an employee of a jewelry store. It was a store detective.
26:14
Well, what do you know about halting? And I'm insinuating nothing.
26:18
I'm giving facts. You got yourself this job here, Watston schemed and planned
26:22
it. When you were ready to pull this pony movie, sat up and
26:25
robbed the safe. That's hard to believe, Nick, he got crew wall.
26:29
That a dog again? Okay, glad, I underdoy it. Hey,
26:33
what's all this? Nick? While the door guy, that dog belongs
26:37
to Holland he also belongs to Mickey, as you can say by the way
26:40
he reached him. For a while I thought somebody impersonating Harland on this robbery,
26:44
but I finally realized that the man who impersonated Harland was Harland himself,
26:48
now known as Mickey Andresser. You got not forked in a dog with the
26:52
cat I had. When Mary takes Mickey's fingerprints, you'll find that they met
26:57
the Prince of Harlem's I found in a new newspapers and that's the Prince Tom
27:02
of the megaphone the Pony movie director used, And you find Mickey knew the
27:04
combination of the safe. Also, it took time to get it, but
27:08
he was in no hurry. I was here in the store Sunday watching he
27:12
cut the burglar alarm wires as a safety precaution, and he wore the dark
27:15
glasses while he was playing Pilon to conceal the cast in his eye, which,
27:19
as Mickey, is so plainly evident. Well, Nckey, am I
27:23
right? Yes, carry, You're right not. My plan was full cooped
27:27
by impersonating myself as I looked fifteen years ago. I'd throw you all off
27:32
the track. Night, George, Mickey, your fun there, night,
27:34
Jos. Why do you never see them? Why Pals would take count me
27:37
when the time comes, He'll work with you. Mickey. You don't really
27:41
expect me to tell you that, do you, there? Palms of mine,
27:42
I'm gonna need friends before us is off. You don't have to tell
27:45
us who they are, Mickey, we'll find them without your health. As
27:48
a movie director, you should know better than to take moving pictures of your
27:52
pals and then not destroy the film. That's the best evidence in the world.
27:53
The camera was on the soundtrack when the drove it into the ruder.
27:56
It was but it just happens that the camera was Border's hype. And the
28:00
film is still good being developed right now, and when we get to look
28:03
at it, they'll be able to pick up your pells and recover all of
28:06
Brian Gil's jewelry. The movie you were making may have been a phony,
28:08
but the film you took was real, and your conviction is going to be
28:11
real too. It can depend on that. Well. Nick, Before you
28:22
give us a peak and your story for next week, I want to talk
28:26
for a moments of young men of America. You know it is no longer
28:29
true, if it ever was, that men join the army only if they
28:33
can't get jobs anywhere else, or if they're not fitted for some other job,
28:37
or if they're too lazy to look for one. The new American Army
28:40
of today is a compact, carefully chosen group of skilled technicians with brains and
28:45
ability. Young men seeking to enter the Army today must be able to understand
28:49
and profit by technical training that is second to none. The skills that the
28:53
men in the New American Army acquire, no matter what branch of the service
28:57
they may be in equals and often exceeds, that demanded by many of the
29:03
best paid civilian trades. You can do no better for yourself and your country
29:07
than to join the New American Army and become an informed technician in at least
29:11
one of the many specialized fields offered. Excellent advice can relate? What about
29:18
your story? Next week? Well, next week can I'm going to tell
29:19
you about an adventure I had recently when an explosion of unknown origin burned down
29:25
a warehouse, an alarm clock missing from an expligious trainer prew that the fire
29:29
was intenduary and a bit of green plant and a crow bar led us directly
29:33
to the firebug himself, who wasn't the firebug at all, but a crook
29:37
who wanted to get rid of some very interminating evity. What do you call
29:40
it? Story? Nick? I got it The Case of the Missing Alarm
29:42
Clock. Nick Connor Master Detective, which is produced and directed by Jock McGregor

presented over most of these mutual stations each week. At the same time.
30:45
This is Ken Paul saying so long until next week. This program was hitting
31:03
Canada through the facilities of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations. This is an usual broadcasting
31:10
system, welcome back. I don't know if I recall a single episode where
31:19
they had so many characters doing dialects varying degrees of quality. The one thing
31:27
that does stand out, and I think it does separate some of the New
31:32
York versus Hollywood productions particularly when you get to this post war era. Is
31:38
when it came to their foreign accents. The Hollywood productions I think generally had
31:45
a more realistic accent, while in New York a lot of the dialects and
31:52
accents really sounded like came off the vaudeville stage in the nineteen twenty and thirties.
32:00
Even at this point. As for the mystery itself, I thought it
32:04
was interesting. I think Nick Carter usually sends us around in circles for the
32:09
solution. The idea of a man impersonating himself was not something I would have
32:15
thought of, So kudos on the good mystery plot there. All right,
32:21
Well on to some listener comments and feedback. We start with John, who
32:25
says, thank you for broadcasting all the old time radio shows. I listen
32:30
to them every night before bed. The commentary before and after the shows are
32:34
also informative. Thank you for your time you put into doing these shows.
32:38
Thank you, John, and I really appreciate you writing in to me.
32:43
That'll actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with yours truly,
32:46
Johnny Doller, and next Thursday join us for another episode of Nick Carter.
