- 1:52as All Dutch Clenter brings you one of the most resourceful and daring characters in
- 1:56all detective fiction, Nick Carter. They're detective. But Nick, with the
- 2:08man you're chasing murdered and the stolen diamond's gone from their hiding plays, how
- 2:13can you possibly hope to carry on? That's simple, Patsy, We just
- 2:15follow the clue clues. What clues do we have? The gold headed cane,
- 2:20the angle from which the knife was thrown, and the ink spots on
- 2:23the bill. Of course I want to put them all together. They spell
- 2:25the end of our search. But there's no time to be lost. We
- 2:29docked in less than two days now. The case of the gold Headed Cane.
- 2:37Today's adventure with Nick caught her brought to you by All Dutch Cleanser.
- 2:42As our story starts, we find her armand Coleman and his servant Gig being
- 2:46shown through the Pilbert Diamond Mine, one of South Africa's biggest I seem mister
- 2:51Hopkins, it's oh pre desent of you to take your time sure through the
- 2:53mine. Being general manager of a mind like this must be quite an undertaking.
- 2:58Yes, sir Oman, it keeps me pretty busy, but your we're
- 3:00always happy in order to show visit this how diamonds are mine. But how
- 3:04do you know one of these visitors won't walk off with some of the diamonds.
- 3:07You don't seem to have any gods here. We don't need them,
- 3:09Sir Armond. Before you leave the mine, you have to pass through a
- 3:12special exit gate where an X ray machine shows the attendant whether or not you
- 3:15have any diamonds on your person, no matter how cleverly concealed. No,
- 3:19I see clever idea. Then iimy. Look at all the diamonds spread out
- 3:23on the table, Sir Ramond, By jove, they are beauty. Those
- 3:28are some of the choice samples of diamonds found in this mind. May I
- 3:30look at them, mister Hopkins closely? I mean, by certainly, mister
- 3:34Hopkins, could I ask you a question? Please? Yes? Of course?
- 3:38What is it? Gig at least picture he around the wall? Is
- 3:42that the mine we've just been through? Yes, gig it is. You
- 3:45see. We came in here, went down through this way, then turned
- 3:47here, came back along here. We're now standing in this room here blimey,
- 3:53we've had some walk. Where's this exit gate you've been telling us about?
- 3:58Well you see this passage he's out of this room. Well the gate
- 4:01is right here, just around the corner. Oh yes, thank you,
- 4:04sir. Is that sorry some map? Well, sir Armond, you're ready
- 4:10to leave? Yes, thank you? Through this way please, this has
- 4:14been the most instructive. Howlt my ankle and I dropped my cane again earlier?
- 4:20It is your ankle at much so. No, it's all right,
- 4:24gig. Let's get on. You're a bad leg troubling you, sir Armond.
- 4:28Little, yes, it must be this long walk we've had. Well,
- 4:30here we are, here's the actually gate. There you go first,
- 4:31Gig stop one of the archway until the attendant says he's satisfied. You're not
- 4:36carrying any diamonds out hell, yes, sir glad, I didn't try to
- 4:41get away with nothing near okay? Oh yes, couldn't find nothing an old
- 4:46gig you next, sir Armond, if you will please your course, there's
- 4:50a queer sensation my ankle again here for Armond. I'll keep it till you
- 4:57come out very well, gig. All right, thank you. You have
- 5:02to go through this to mith Hopkins. Oh yes, indeed everyone does,
- 5:05from the owner down. Take no chances on anyone. Well, sir Ramond,
- 5:11that's about all. It's been very interesting. I assure you. Thanks
- 5:14name Hopkins me just fine, mister Hopkins. We go out this story.
- 5:17That's right. You'll find your car just outside. Good Bye, goodbye,
- 5:21and thanks again. Did you get those diamonds for Ramond? Pick work like
- 5:30a charm and mister Hopkins will never know. I got the idea from one
- 5:33of the stories he told us. Come on, let's get back to the
- 5:38hotel and pack. In twelve hours we can be on the boat headed for
- 5:41the streets and a life of luxury. Take this message, miss Jerald fifty
- 5:56carrots, a first quality diamonds stolen from Philbert mine and daring robbery suspect believed
- 6:00to be on boat bound for United States. Lost discovered and check up lake
- 6:03this afternoon. Famous American detective Nick Carter colding on case. Have you got
- 6:09that? Miss girl? See that it gets out at once? All news,
- 6:12sir, This has been a wonderful trip. Nick trips for this cold
- 6:29of mine. You know the first time I made a transplant acrossing by plane.
- 6:34I don't mind taking time for a trip like this. I take it
- 6:38they want to such someone else, as they explained, you know from what
- 6:41John Philbert's Oh well, Philbert is the owner of the Diamond Mind. Nick.
- 6:44Yes, I met him at a convention some years ago. Uh huh.
- 6:47From what he said, he's more worried about how the diamonds got out
- 6:50than he is about the loss of these particular stones. You'll find out,
- 6:54Nick, I'll bet on that. Huh. I hope you're right through.
- 7:11Come in, Hopkinsons got nit. This is Charles Hopkins, our general manager.
- 7:16He was the one who showed this man Coleman through the mind the data
- 7:19thefts occurred. Oh yes, yes, mister Hopkins. Mister Philbert here tells
- 7:24me you're sure Coleman is the man who got away with the jams. He
- 7:27must be, mister Carter. Our display table is checked every night receive So
- 7:30when we missed the stones, we went back over every visitor for that day.
- 7:33The only one that presented anything out of the ordinary was Coleman, who
- 7:38dropped his cane as he went through the exit gate. So we figured the
- 7:41Kane must have something to do with it. Very probably well, if Coleman
- 7:45secreted the stones in his can. He must still have them with him.
- 7:47I think the best plan will be for Patsy and me to fly director of
- 7:49the ship is sailing on and see if we can find them. So if
- 7:53you were radio the skipper that were coming and give me a full description of
- 7:56the man and the servant will be on our way before you go, Nick,
- 8:00I want to give you a small retainer to cover your expenses. At
- 8:03least you have the many Hopkins, Yes, sir, right here, the
- 8:07two five hundred dollar bills. I have to apologize, mister Carter, but
- 8:11I accidentally spilled some red ink on the corner then while they're on my desk.
- 8:13No, that doesn't matter, it happen. Thank you. Now let's
- 8:16get home of the details. We have to reach Coleman's ship before it ducks,
- 8:20and we haven't too much time. Ah, there's been such a beautiful
- 8:35stroll around. It decks your coreman, I say, Madame Ducaine, I
- 8:37think a cocktail won't go badly before we go down to dinner. Huh that
- 8:41such an excellent idea. Shall I mix the cocktails, sir? And no
- 8:45gig you may go. We won't need you until after dinner. Yes,
- 8:48sir, you'll find everything you'll need. Madam Ducaine, you've gotten to know
- 8:52each other quite well these last few days. Yes, why don't we stopp
- 8:56being so formal? You call me Almond, and now i'll call you.
- 9:01That is another of your lovely ideas, Micheur Almond. Should I mix the
- 9:07coffin? I am very good, daddy. If you like, you'll find
- 9:09the things on that table. You would like a Manhattan Armond. They are
- 9:13my sibrel. Whatever you desire, seta no one, no no, I
- 9:22have it, oh armand I've spilled it all over my hand. Now I
- 9:28shall have to wash them the wash pasions in the other rooms. I'll mix
- 9:33the cocktails while you're gone. Now I shall return at what mixing drinks is
- 9:37the men's job anyway? A woman's job is to look pretty and fee the
- 9:41man's beneity. Do I need your You do, indeed, my pretty,
- 9:46and I'm happy that you do. I shouldn't wait for me? Who are
- 10:03you? What are you? Who is that? You made good time,
- 10:20mister cutter, But even so you're too late, too late for what to
- 10:24talk to? Coleman He was killed a half hour ago. Yeah, how
- 10:28a knife in his throat. The woman who was with him when it happened
- 10:31reported it to me. She said she was washing her hands in the dressing
- 10:33room when she heard a funny noise. When she came out, Coleman was
- 10:37lying dead on the floor. Did you see anyone else? Yeah, there
- 10:41was a man in the room, but he dashed out when he saw her.
- 10:45She said she wouldn't know him again. She was so scared. This
- 10:48is something I hadn't count. Look, I want something done about this man
- 10:54ready, I'm busy. Just now drop in later, won't you. I
- 10:56want to know two days ago this writing book my deck chair to one side
- 11:01and put his own chair where mine should be. He and so I'm too
- 11:05basy to do anything about that now. So I'll come back this evening.
- 11:09Don't get it all right? All right, but I'll pupe this guy running
- 11:13right in this suite, Sorry, missus cutter. Just one of the things
- 11:18in the captain's life. Yes, how shall we take a look at Coleman's
- 11:22cabin. I'd like to get started on my investigation. Perhaps what I'm looking
- 11:26for is still here. There is coleman state room. Mister Catter, Doctor
- 11:43Samuels this is Nick Catter and miss Bowen Catter. There's the ship's doctor.
- 11:48How do you do that? How do you do doctor? That's gig Coleman
- 11:50servant is everything the way you found a doctor? Yes, Captain you said,
- 11:54mister Carter is coming. So I have made my inspection without moving anything.
- 12:03Doctor. Would you say that this knife was stabbed into the throat or
- 12:07thrown? Well? I did think that it was a peculiar angle for his
- 12:13tabbing, but throwing hadn't occurred to me. Do you find anything on the
- 12:16knife? Nick handle seems to be playing huh oh, Prince uh uhi?
- 12:24Where were you when Coleman was killed? When Sir Armond and the lady came
- 12:28in after they'd been walking on dick, he told me he wouldn't need me
- 12:31till after dinner. So I went out and talked to a man, and
- 12:35it's yesterday. When I came back, the captain and the doctor was he.
- 12:39I verified that part of it misscut her. Look as if Coleman was
- 12:43mixing a drink when he was killed, doesn't it. That's what Madame lu
- 12:46King who told me when she was the one who was with him at the
- 12:48time. I see if he were standing there at the table for the drink,
- 12:52Sir. A knife must have been thrown through the window, judging by
- 12:56the angle at which had entered his throat. He's just certainly right about,
- 13:00mister Cutter. Oh, Patsy, do you see that girl had a cane?
- 13:01Filber told us Coleman carried. Yes, he's standing over there in the
- 13:05corner. How good you wanted? Yes? Please have you seen that kinge
- 13:07before, mister Cutter? No, but I've heard about it here Nick.
- 13:11Thanks. Imagine this head comes off. There must be a catcher somewhere that
- 13:18does it. Well. Inside we find the motive for the killing. You
- 13:26mean the diamonds. I mean the diamonds are gone. You expected to find
- 13:30diamonds in the head of the cane. I did, Captain. When Coleman
- 13:33left South Africa, he had about fifty carrots the flawless diamonds hidden there.
- 13:37It's empty now, so I should guess if the killer has taken the stones,
- 13:39then all we have to do is search the ship, find the diamonds,
- 13:43and the rest, whoever has them, is the murder. Yes,
- 13:45you could do it that way, Captain, but maybe I can save you
- 13:46some time if I can do a little figuring, you know, mister Cutter,
- 13:50there's one thing that puzzles me about this. Yes, what's that?
- 13:54That? Treck the woman who reported the killing, Madame Duke King, Since
- 13:58she came to the Captain's office immediately, now allowing for the time it took
- 14:03her to get there and the time it took me to get down here.
- 14:05After that, the man should have been dead about twenty minutes, but I
- 14:09found that he'd been dead at least an hour. It is. That's so
- 14:16Oh, I wonder why she waited over half an hour before reporting the murder.
- 14:22Yes, Patsy, I wonder too. And I'll back to the case
- 14:37of the gold Headed Cane. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by
- 14:41all Dutch cleanser, and we pick up our story. We find Nick,
- 14:46Patsy and the Captain standing on deck outside the window of Coleman State rooms.
- 14:50See, Captain, such as I said, and I've thrown through this window
- 14:54or anyone standing at that table, were entered a throat at the exact angle
- 14:58the knife ended Coleman's throat. Nick, this is a curious coincidence. What's
- 15:03that, Patsy? The name on this deck chair right on the Kleman's window
- 15:05is reading. Yes, you remember that the passenger busted into the Captain's office
- 15:09was complaining about his chair having been replaced by one belonging to a man named
- 15:13Redding. Yes, what else here? It is so Redding wanted to be
- 15:20in this particulars but no matter whom he and I m Patsy picked on the
- 15:24names of the passengers in the adjacent chairs and see if any of them saw
- 15:28anything of this chair thing. You know, Nick, what are you going
- 15:31to do? Go to see what mister Redding has to say about this?
- 15:46Well, f'd my intrusion. Mister Redding, just curious to know why you
- 15:50changed your deck chair from whoever it was to the position it now occupies.
- 15:52And he put my chair in the wrong place to begin with? What's it
- 15:56in your life? I'm acting on behalf of the captain Is charge. It
- 16:00doesn't show your chair in its present position. I can't help that that's the
- 16:03spot I was promised it's reading. Do you having to know a man named
- 16:06sir armand Coleman? Colman Coleman never heard of him? I see you have
- 16:11a bird on the palm of your right hand. Mister Redding's been working recently.
- 16:15What I have on the palm of my hand is no concern of yours,
- 16:18right, correct. I was just curious to know if you got it
- 16:19by practicing knife throwing knife. Get out of you, Get out. I've
- 16:25had enough of this, well, mister reading. Oh, by the way,
- 16:29did you hear about the murder on board a while ago? Murder?
- 16:33I'd like to know what you're getting at with all these questions. You suspect
- 16:37me of the murder. Perhaps I was going to say, when you interrupted
- 16:40me that I'm about to make a very interesting call. I'm going to call
- 16:44on a woman who saw the killer and says she can identify him. So
- 16:48long, mister Redding, see you later. Oh wait a minute, he
- 17:06had time to find out about those other passengers. Nobody saw anything next,
- 17:10they're all downstairs below deck. I guess I should say to cut her.
- 17:15Oh yes, Captain, anything new, maybe and maybe not. I'll leave
- 17:19you to judge. Okay, what is it? Well? As soon as
- 17:22Madame Dukine, the murder witness, got back to her cabin, she called
- 17:26for a plumber. Said the drain in her wash baseminent was stopped up and
- 17:30it happened. The plumber was free, so he went there at once.
- 17:33He cleaned out the drain and left, But when he got back to his
- 17:36quarters, he discovered one of his wrenches were missing. He asked Madame Ducaine
- 17:40about it, but she said she hadn't seen it, and he's sure he
- 17:42left it there. Well, very interesting, indeed, I'm on my way
- 17:47to her stateroom now, Captain, you want to come along. Maybe we
- 17:51can find the answer. Yes, Madame Ducane, isn't it Holmes? Oh?
- 18:11I think we better get in and have a look at her room.
- 18:11Anyway, I have a keynes to cutter. I'll let you in. Thanks
- 18:18all right, Betsy. See if you're trying the wrench, I'm sure it's
- 18:22hitting somewhere here right. What makes you so sure, Madame Lukane, has
- 18:27it been to cut her? I believe she's still Coleman's diamonds and try to
- 18:32find a safe place to hide it. Got the idea of putting him in
- 18:34the wash basin drain, so she sent for the plumber. That's what he
- 18:38did, and stole one of his wrenches, and when he was gone,
- 18:41opened up the pipe again and hit the diamonds inside. Oh why didn't she
- 18:44just put them down through the drain in the basement, too big to go
- 18:47through the strainer, I should say I found there. He was under the
- 18:51mattress. Suppose we have a look at that drain night. I can't wait
- 19:07and look at these Captain, What well, Mike nibsome stones, aren't they?
- 19:11Hi, there's a fortune there. What are you doing in my room
- 19:17looking for diamonds, Madam de Kane and we found them, Madam Lukane,
- 19:21you're under arrest for the murder of Sir Armand Coleman. No, I did
- 19:23not kill him, but you did steal the diamonds, didn't you. Yes,
- 19:27I admit I took the diamonds. When I came out of Corman's dressing
- 19:30room, I saw a man standing there with Corman's kane in his hand.
- 19:34When I spoke to him, he dropped the cane and disappeared. And you
- 19:37got curious, examined the cane and found the diamonds. Yes, I could
- 19:42not resist him. I didn't hear in my room. Then I reported the
- 19:45murders. If it had just happened, in Heaven's name, why did you
- 19:48do that? I had to He knew I was with Corman. He knew
- 19:52we were to be together for dinner. If I had not reported it,
- 19:56I should have been blamed for the murder myself. Can you prove you didn't
- 19:59call? No, she didn't do it, Captain, But she knows who
- 20:03did, don't you? Madam? Hi? I believe I would recognize me
- 20:08if I saw you good, and I think I know who it is.
- 20:12Will you come with me and identify him. I would be glad to do
- 20:15that if you let me get me. But I just came through the window.
- 20:25Come on, Captain, after it there he goes home hard stap stap
- 20:29her. I'll shoot if you want me, come and get me. He's
- 20:33going over the rail. Don't jump. Many goals you can play at that
- 20:36game, Captain, stand by to pick us some. Don't corry you'll kill
- 20:37yourself, you fool men of the Lord men o Ward. Well, it
- 20:49takes a brave man to dive into the ocean, as Nick did, but
- 20:52Nick is never the man to let a criminal get away from him. In
- 20:56just a moment, we'll hear the conclusion of today's story. And now for
- 21:04the conclusion of the case of the Goldheaded came Today's adventure with Nick carter brought
- 21:10to you by all Dutch cleanser. Stopping his liner in mid ocean. The
- 21:15captain rescues Nick from the icy waters, together with his unconscious captain's reading.
- 21:19The latter is put to bed in his cabin under the doctor's care, while
- 21:22Nick falls out in the captain's quarters. An hour later, Nick drops into
- 21:26Redding's cabin. I thank you, falls through doctor. You say you think
- 21:30so. He lost some blood from the wound in his leg where you shut
- 21:33him. But he hits nothing serious. And I talked to him. Hold
- 21:36not just now, he's sneeping. I just gave him his tentative to quiet
- 21:40him. He's very restless. He should of wandering in his mind. He
- 21:44kept calling for someone to get him out of this. I didn't get the
- 21:48name he said, but it sounded as if he was being paid by someone
- 21:52to do what he did. Oh, that's a new angle, like I'll
- 21:56have a look through his things as anyone else makes up on this. I'd
- 21:59like to know who it is. Mister call her and miss bowing to see
- 22:12you, mister Philbert Well. Nick, glad to see you back. Glad
- 22:17to be back, John. Did you accomplish anything? Nick? Well?
- 22:19Yes, and no. I found the matter stole the diamonds, but it
- 22:22was dad when I found him. Oh that's a tough break. I got
- 22:26the diamond back for you here. Excellent, Dicky. You never seem to
- 22:32fail to get what you go after. On this particular case, John,
- 22:34I got more than I went after. He is mister Hopkins around well for
- 22:40years? Yes, I'll ask him to come in. Is ask mister Hopkins
- 22:45to step in? Hell? Yes, sir, I want him to hear
- 22:47the rest of this story. I think it will interest him even more than
- 22:51it will you. You want to see me, Miss Philbert. Hello,
- 22:55mister car have a successful trip. I did, found the thief and recovered
- 23:00the diamonds, and he had a very pleasant play ride in the bargain.
- 23:02Good this happens. I'm puzzled about one thing, Yes, was caller?
- 23:06You said the diamonds on that displayed table near the exit gate were checked every
- 23:08night, didn't you. That's right, as I understand, these diamonds were
- 23:11stolen about noon, correct, And why wasn't the loss reported until late on
- 23:17the following day? Why will I thought that right to give a thief a
- 23:22chance to get safely aboard the boat? That sailed for the States that evening,
- 23:26so he'd be out of the country before the loss was reported, wasn't
- 23:27it see here, Carter? Are you accusing me of something? John?
- 23:32Yes? Nick? When I was here before, Hopkins gave me two new
- 23:36five hundred dollars bills as a retainer. Remember he is never called that,
- 23:40and he apologized because he'd spilled red ink in the corner of them. Shees
- 23:42never call that too. What would you gather when I show you these five
- 23:48new one thousand dollars bills that also have red inks spailed on them and precisely
- 23:52the same places see here, Cotter? Right, Quiet Hopkins, Go on,
- 23:56Nick, Where did those five bills come from? I found them?
- 23:59In the stateroom? Was a man named Reading, a man who killed the
- 24:02diamond thief Coleman and tried to steal the stones from him. I don't follow
- 24:06you, Nick, Well, here's what I think happened. Sit down,
- 24:08Hopkins and be quiet well, John. I believe Hopkins allowed Coleman was really
- 24:15an international jewel thief to steal the diamonds from the display table. Tababe even
- 24:18suggested the idea to whom in some way and did him pass them through the
- 24:22X ray machine by getting away with that pony cane. Tree hired Reading another
- 24:26international troop to kill Coleman and get the stones away from him. He paid
- 24:30him these bills which I found in Redding's cabin. You can't prove a word
- 24:34of that corner. That is pretty complicated, Nick, What would Hopkins get
- 24:38out of it? He and Reading would Undaughter to split the proceeds. The
- 24:41five thousand dollars was advanced expense money. Hopkins could have identified Coleman as a
- 24:47thief, but as Reading would have the jewels, they'd not be recovered.
- 24:49So Hopkins is in the clear. Redding is in the clear if he's not
- 24:52called for the killing, and Hopkins and Reading split the proceeds when they sell
- 24:56the gems. All that deduction based on a blot of reading, it proves
- 25:00nothing. Your fingerprints on the bills will furnish all the additional proof necessary.
- 25:06Fingerprints, Yes, new bills take fingerprints, excellent flavors. The Hapkins all
- 25:12right, caught her. I admit it was all worked out just as you
- 25:17figured it, Hopkins. But Nick, you have an account for that woman
- 25:22who actually took the diamonds away from Carmen where's she coming? He does happened
- 25:27to run across the stones and, being an opportunist, took them. Oh
- 25:30well, Nick, I I don't know how to thank you for what you've
- 25:33done. Not only caught a thief and return my jewels to me, you've
- 25:38also exposed another thief who might have gotten away with far more than this if
- 25:42he hadn't been found out. You know, Hopkins, this is just another
- 25:45illustration of the old adage there's no such thing as a perfect crime. Crime
- 25:51doesn't pay. Ever, I'm curious, Nick, what happened to Ready By
- 26:04the time the ship, Doc Bob Reading had recovered tofficially to stand trials,
- 26:08and later he was executed for what he did. He certainly deserved it.
- 26:11It was a cold blooded murder. Nick, It's about time to look into
- 26:15the adventure that old Dutch cleander is going to bring us next week. All
- 26:18right, Bob, here it is. It's the story of one of the
- 26:19most unusual rackets and crime I've ever encountered. Unusual, it is right.
- 26:23It terrorized the whole city. And perhaps he speaks from first hand ex Syrian.
- 26:27But to go on, Bob, this case included a murder on a
- 26:30dark Street, a deserted warehouse, the telltale marks at tires in an alley,
- 26:34a mask man whom they called the book. And that's enough for now.
- 26:37What do you call this story? Nick? I call it a case
- 26:41of the Persistent Beggars. Nick carter Master Detective is presented each week at this
- 26:51time and over these same stations by the Cutting Heat Packing Company, makers of

- 28:03when you're needing to do a discrete investigation, it's a big enough challenge to
- 28:08hire a famous detective, but to send off a press release to the news
- 28:14services announcing that you've discovered the theft, and you've hired a famous detective.
- 28:19Seems to be asking to have the criminals know what you're about. I did
- 28:26think it was a nice twist at the end for it to turn out that
- 28:30there was an inside man who had manipulated the jewel thief and play in the
- 28:36murder. Well, that will do it for today. We will be back
- 28:38tomorrow with yours truly, Johnny Dowler. In the meantime, sendra commons to
