  over and be quick about it? And what over your wallet? Of course?
• 2:39
  Come on, come now? Isn't it quite late in the evening for
• 2:43
  this sort of thing? That's funny about this? I mean business. You
• 2:47

  Just hand it over, hand it over. I'll shoot you really would shoot

  me, would you? Yes? This is your last chance. Please.
• 2:59
  I don't want you, okay, but you won't find very much all right,
• 3:06
  I'll take that toy personally. Now, oh oh, you knew all
• 3:13
  the well sure with the fool most people. But you're just happen to pick
• 3:16
  on the wrong man. I'm Nick Carter, Nick Carter, Gosh, I
• 3:21
  guess I did. My name is Brown, Chester Brown. Well, mister
• 3:24
  Brown, let's have it. What's the story. You're no gunman? You're
• 3:28
  right, mister Carter. I've never done this sort of thing before. And
• 3:30
  why did you try to hold me up? Then? I was desperate I've
• 3:35
  been out of work for three months now. In times like these, yes,
• 3:38
  I know, but I'm a salesman. There's no need for them.
• 3:40
  Now, how about manual work? I tried that, but my heart isn't
• 3:44
  very strong. I see married? Yes, I was married six months ago.
• 3:49
  Where do you live? You live in a couple of rooms in the
• 3:51
  boarding house, only a few blocks from here. Mister Carter, why do
• 3:54
  you ask? I'd like to go home with you and meet your wife.
• 4:00
  That means you're going to turn me over to the police. No, not
• 4:02
  yet, at least, thanks, But one never knows, mister Brown.
• 4:05
  That's cool right this way, mister Carter. Stella O stella, stella.
• 4:28
  That's strange. She's home. Maybe she went out for a while. This
• 4:31
  time of night. She'd be back by Now what does it mean? Well,
• 4:36
  it probably doesn't mean up. I'll wait a minute, is it not?
• 4:41
  Rehaps this will explain to her. Let me have it your chit be
• 4:45
  gone for a few days. Don't worry about me. All our troubles will
• 4:49
  soon be over. We're coming into a fortune. I can't explain anymore now
• 4:56
  you are, Stella. Well, congratulations. Look what's enclosed? Hmmm?
• 5:02
  One hundred dollars bill, I see it? Please? Oh here you are,
• 5:08
  Gosha. I can't believe it. It's too good to be true.
• 5:11
  Tell me, mister Brown, is your wife any rich relatives, rich relatives
• 5:15
  never heard of? Speak of any mother and father no longer living. While
• 5:19
  she has an uncle, man by the name of James Spear. He lived
• 5:24
  somewhere out in Colorado. Maybe it's he yes. Maybe What are you doing,
• 5:30
  mister Carter? Just checking the number on this bill against the list I
• 5:33
  have here? Why? What is it? Mister Brown? I'm afraid my
• 5:41
  congratulations were a bit premature. What do you mean? Have you read the
• 5:45
  evening paper? No? I haven't seen a paper all day. Why Michael
• 5:48
  Steelefield, a banker, was murdered last night. Ten thousand dollars were stolen
• 5:51
  from his private vault and one of the cleverest safe cracking jobs seen here in
• 5:55
  years. What's that got to do with this? I stolen money consisted of
• 5:59
  one hundred dollars bill, So what the bill your wife lived for you with
• 6:01
  one of those stolen by the murder room. Oh but mister Cotter, she
• 6:04
  had nothing to do with that. I feel sure of that. Mister Brown,
• 6:08
  then why should you want to Suppose you went out tomorrow morning and try
• 6:10
  to spend that bill. What would have happened? Why? Oh, oh,
• 6:15
  I see, I'd have probably been arrested as the murderer exactly. But
• 6:23
  why did she leave that bill for me? Because she's as much the victim
• 6:26
  of this frame up as you are Brown Up. My hunch is correct,
• 6:30
  someone's trying to make trouble for you and for her. Oh but mister Cotter,
• 6:32
  why should I don't ask questions yet? Just listen to me, Pack
• 6:36
  up a bag and get out of here tonight. Go to seventy three Bleaker
• 6:40
  Revenue. That's a rooming house run by friends of mine on the other side
• 6:43
  of town. Sit tight until you hear from me. Don't tell anyone where
• 6:46
  you are, and don't use your right name. But suppose my wife comes
• 6:48
  back. I said to leave it all in my hands. But why you
• 6:51
  don't be a fool. If you don't follow my directions, you may be
• 6:54
  dead before morning. So you don't think either Brown or his wife had anything
• 7:08
  to do with the murder? Nick, No, Patsy, I don't too
• 7:10
  obvious. A frame up A frame up, yes, So you see the
• 7:14
  murderer persuades missus Brown to go summer with him on some pretext or other,
• 7:16
  and gives her one of the stolen bills to leave for her husband, who
• 7:19
  was sure to be arrested if he tries suspend it. But why should the
• 7:23
  murderer want to pin the job on mister Brown? Glad? I don't know
• 7:25
  the answer to Patsy, except that, for some reason rather he wants to
• 7:29
  get Brown out of the way. Hello, Hello, Nick, I'm oh
• 7:33
  Riley. What is it You still say you're not interested in this? Till
• 7:38
  Field kill him? As a matter of fact, Riley, something's happened since
• 7:41
  you spoke to me about it. I've changed my mind. So you've heard
• 7:45
  already heard? What about the big Portal Express robbery down on Front Street?
• 7:49
  That's where I'm calling from. No, that's news to me. What do
• 7:53
  they get rally forty thousand dollars in negotiable bonds right out of the vart,
• 7:58
  Nick, not bad? This is the interesting part. Yeah, do you
• 8:03
  know who those bonds were being shipped to? Michael Stillfield? Still Field?
• 8:07
  Okay, Riley, thanks, I'll be right down. Well, Patsy,
• 8:13
  this thing gets more interesting by the minute. Let's go. Ah, here
• 8:26
  you are, Nick, Hello, Patsy, well Riley, let's have a
• 8:31
  look sure thing, Nick, come on inside. Now. This is mister
• 8:37
  Johnson. Nick, he's in charge of the express office. How are you
• 8:39
  do so glad you came, mister Carter. Nothing like this has happened in
• 8:43
  the thirty years I've been with the company. Well, I suppose there's always
• 8:46
  the first time, mister Johnson. That's the bold over there, mister Carter.
• 8:48
  No thanks, m certainly don't come any finer. That's true, mister
• 8:56
  Cutter, absolutely burglar proof. Who are so? We've was anything else taken?
• 9:01
  No, just the bonds and there as good as cash. You know,
• 9:05
  why did it discover that they were missing this morning? They were putting
• 9:07
  that vault last night. I watched the book keeper do it myself, I
• 9:11
  see, And you were the one who closed the vaults. That's right.
• 9:16
  I closed it and adjusted the time mechanism myself. Seems to be intact.
• 9:22
  It's just it, mister Carter. I can't understand it. Neither the vault
• 9:28
  lock nor the time attachment had been tampered with. It looks like the devil's
• 9:31
  own work. It's absolutely incredible, mister Carter, And there you have it.
• 9:35
  I say it was open and the bonds are gone. What do you
• 9:39
  make of it? Nick? There aren't many men who could have pulled off
• 9:41
  this kind of a job. You're right there, Nick. As a matter
• 9:45
  of fact, I don't know anybody but Nick Carter could have done it.
• 9:48
  He's not handed with locks. Of all times, you have some idea,
• 9:52
  mister Carter. You say the bonds were put in the vault last night.
• 9:56
  Yes, that's right. But what time did you say? Well, we
• 10:00
  received him from the west on the five o'clock train. Did you say from
• 10:03
  the west. For yes, they came from Colorado and they were addressed to
• 10:07
  Michael Steelefield. That's right. And they were putting the vall a little after
• 10:11
  five, and as you already know, that's the last we were seeing them.
• 10:15
  Thank you, mister Johnson. I don't think we need bother you any
• 10:18
  further. I do hope you'll be able to track down that thief. It's
• 10:22
  more than a thief. You've put me on the track of the man we're
• 10:24
  looking for, mister Johnson, as a murderer. What was that's tough you
• 10:37
  were given Johnson about looking for a murderer? Nick, that's exactly what I
• 10:41
  meant rallying. You mean there's a connection between the murder of Michael Stillfield and
• 10:45
  this robbery, Nick, you catch on fast, Patsy. How do you
• 10:48
  figure it, Nick? Well, on both cases there was Stillefield's property that
• 10:50
  was stolen, and in both cases there was a remarkable safe cracking job.
• 10:54
  Right, there's no doubt about it. Looks like it could be the same
• 10:58
  ones, all right, And you recall where Johnson said those bonds came from,
• 11:01
  Yes, from colorado' it sure. I remember his saying that. But
• 11:05
  what's that got to do with it? Just a hunt? Rally by judging
• 11:09
  by the way these two safes are broken into, I think I know who
• 11:11
  probably did it, Clint Bartow. Clint Barto, you're having me believe in
• 11:18
  the dead come to life again? Nick, Why don't you remember he was
• 11:22
  reported dead five years ago up in Canada someplace. Yes, but where Clint
• 11:26
  Bartow's concerned, I don't have much faith in that kind of a report.
• 11:28
  He's the most dangerous and resourceful criminal in the contents Riley. I wouldn't be
• 11:33
  surprised that he had that report circulated purposely. No, I hadn't thought of
• 11:37
  it that way. Furthermore, I suggest you make a thorough check on the
• 11:41
  background of Michael Stielfield, the murdered banker an idea, there may be some
• 11:43
  interesting facts turned. I'm okay, Nick, it's as good as done when
• 11:46
  you got the infomt Wow, what is it? Nick? We're being followed?
• 11:52
  Huh, well not for long. We won't be, you know.
• 11:54
  Just let I want to handle this my own way. Rally, you continue
• 11:58
  on the word you're going, Patsy, and I'll turn up this side street.
• 12:01
  Okay, Nick, I'll be seeing you so long. All right,
• 12:07
  come along this way? Is still following me? He's hanging on all right,
• 12:13
  Yeah, enter this doorway here? Okay, Now we'll just wait.
• 12:18
  He'll be along. Yeah, here it comes down. Stay here, Betsy,
• 12:26
  be careful. Nick. Hey you what's the idea following me? Wh
• 12:35
  me? Yes? You you've been tailing me ever since? Oh no,
• 12:37
  you don't. I ain't done nothing, mister, No, not yet.
• 12:43
  You have it. Now talk my friend, and let's hear something interesting.
• 12:48
  Okay, I was tailing you, that's what I thought. What's your game?
• 12:52
  Oh? Not my game. It was some bloke I met near the
• 12:56
  Express office. Yes, what about this bloke, Well, he says,
• 12:58
  is it spot in it for me? If I keep an eye on you
• 13:01
  all day, you know, see where you go and what you do?
• 13:05
  Well, then what Well that's all mister, And I was supposed to report
• 13:09
  back to night at eight with a dope and get paid. I see where
• 13:13
  were you supposed to report back? Beach Street, opposite the railway station.
• 13:18
  What did this man look like? Oh? You can't miss him, mister.
• 13:20
  He's about six foot six, dark hair, he has long caved nose.
• 13:26
  Wow, so he's the one. Oh you know him? Huh yes,
• 13:30
  I think I do. You were off at ten dollars, you say,
• 13:33
  here's twenty? What for? We're forgetting all about reporting back? See?
• 13:39
  Oh I get it? Sure thing. Thanks? Wait a minute,
• 13:41
  yeah, I want to get a good look at you. Huh m hmm.
• 13:48
  Yeah, Okay, I shan't forget what you look like. In a
• 13:50
  hurry, I'll beat it and remember stay out of my way, okay,
• 13:56
  mister, All right, Patsy, come on, what now, Nick,
• 14:01
  We're going back to the office. I've got a special job to do now
• 14:03
  that requires a complete change of wardrobe. In fact, Patsy, a complete
• 14:05
  change of everything that does it handle that mirror? Will you? Patsy here?
• 14:20
  Nick? Hmm, not bad? Well, Patsy, do you think
• 14:24
  I looked like the man who was following us? Simply perfect? Nick,
• 14:28
  I positively couldn't tell the two in your part? Now now the voice?
• 14:31
  Okay, lady, thanks? Well, I guess I better blow it.
• 14:35
  The mob's waiting for me, Nick, Yes, what is it, Betsy.
• 14:41
  I'm afraid of what you may be letting yourself in for. Oh no,
• 14:45
  don't worry. I'll be watching my step. You better like one false
• 14:48
  move with bottle, Betsy. I know the kind of man I'm up against.
• 14:52
  Hello. Oh yes, Riley, Oh you there what you find?
• 15:00
  I see? Yeah? That's fine. Rally Oh no, no, no,
• 15:03
  I've got a plan on my own. Yeah, I'll do that all
• 15:07
  right, Riley. Thanks? Hye, what is it? Nick? I'd
• 15:11
  see my suspicions were right. The report came through and Michael Steelefield he proves
• 15:15
  to be none other than James spear Steer. You mean missus Brown's uncle,
• 15:18
  right. Seems he made his money out West many years ago, then got
• 15:20
  into some difficulties there, changed his name and came east, and he never
• 15:24
  got in touch with his knee apparently not well. Then that fortune Missus Brown
• 15:28
  spoke about in her note is true. Yes, according to his will,
• 15:31
  she becomes sol air to the entire estate, being his only surviving relative.
• 15:35
  Well not be if she lives, Patsy. If she lives, why shouldn't
• 15:41
  she live? Nick? The person she left home with last night must be
• 15:43
  the same person who killed Stalefield. The hundred dollar bill she left her husband
• 15:46
  proves that you think that. I think that if that person is Barto,
• 15:50
  she's in very real danger. Steelfield on the fortune was killed. Now missus
• 15:54
  Brown owns it, and she may very well be next on the list.
• 15:56
  I see what you mean. What time is it not, Patsy? Okay,
• 16:00
  I better be off. I'm going to keep my eight o'clock date.
• 16:03
  You will be careful, Nick, Yes, of course I will. You
• 16:04
  know what you're to do. Yes, I'll do just what you're telling me.
• 16:07
  While so long, Patsy, I'll be seeing you. I hope,
• 16:10
  so, Nick, I hope so eight o'clock And this is the corner,
• 16:27
  all right. Nobody seems to be sure. Oh you're waiting for someone.
• 16:37
  But yeah, I was supposed to meet a guy here at eight. Okay,
• 16:41
  I guess you other one? All? I mean, where we're going
• 16:45
  taking out of the boys. Why it's that you'll find out? Come on?
• 16:59
  Oh yeah, I'm just a minute. It's me boys, just a
• 17:08
  guy. Boys, Yeah, come in, close the door alone. Well
• 17:15
  what'd you find out? I followed the guy like you said? Well,
• 17:19
  how about that ten spotch you promises where you'll get it? Now? What
• 17:23
  happened? Nothing? What do you mean? I tell the guy to a
• 17:29
  house on Elm Street. They went in. I didn't see him come out
• 17:30
  all day? I see it. Well, okay, you did a good
• 17:34
  job. Here's a ten anything else, mister? I could use more,
• 17:40
  though, and I ain't particular how I make it. If you get what
• 17:44
  I mean? Yeah, I get what you mean. You see. I
• 17:45
  figured you must have some kind of a racket, mister, very clever reasoning
• 17:51
  on your part. Yeah, I'd sort of like to get in on it.
• 17:55
  That is, if you could use a guy like me, maybe I
• 17:56
  could. You will. You don't happen to know the name of that man
• 18:02
  you were following. Do you never seen him before? Oh? It was
• 18:04
  Nick Carter? Nick Carter? Who's he never heard of him? Eh?
• 18:10
  Well, he's just about the greatest detective the side of the Atlantic. This
• 18:14
  Carter must be quite a guy, quite a guy who's right, quite a
• 18:18
  bag of tricks. He's the one man who stood between me and a fortune
• 18:22
  on three different occasions. Put you in the jug. Eh no, not
• 18:26
  quite when on econna him. I've had to lay low the last five years.
• 18:30
  Now I've got another fortune within my grasp, and he's not gonna stand
• 18:33
  in my way again, No, sir, I'll see to that. Yeah,
• 18:37
  wiped out of scheme. Euh yeah, beautiful one, beautiful and simple.
• 18:44
  He's gonna be hoist by his own petard come again. One of his
• 18:49
  own great tricks is going to be his undoing. I don't get you,
• 18:55
  all right, Nick Carter, you can come out from one of that trick
• 18:56
  voice. Now he can covered alone. Right. Well, congratulations, Barrow.
• 19:03
  I was sure I had your fool. It was a neat job,
• 19:06
  Carter. Your resemblance to trigger is absolutely uncanny. Trigger. Yeah, one
• 19:11
  of my own men. It was all a frame and you fell for it.
• 19:15
  Knowing you and your tricks, I figured that's exactly what you do.
• 19:18
  And now that I'm here, what are you proposed to do? Something I
• 19:22
  should have done a long time ago. This is the end of the road
• 19:26
  for you, Carter, ba I think you're bluffing. Oh you do,
• 19:30
  Yes, I do. Why do you have to go to all this trouble.
• 19:34
  You could have had one of your men shoot me in the street.
• 19:37
  Oh God, I had a special reason for wanting to bring you here alive.
• 19:40
  Yeah, what's that? I wanted to see the look on your face
• 19:44
  when I opened the door to this inner room and you saw this what Chester
• 19:49
  Brown? Yeah? And I assure you he wouldn't be sleeping so peacefully if
• 19:53
  he knew what I was planning for him and for you. Hey, you
• 19:57
  wake up, wake up, you company. You gave him too much of
• 20:03
  that dope, Alan, You might have killed him. So what what you
• 20:07
  want? Yeah? But I want him to wait until mister Carter could keep
• 20:10
  him company. I want them to go out together. Come on, you
• 20:12

• 20:18
  tough looking thug is really our old friend Nick Carter. Oh, oh,

  you're the only man that might stop me. So I'm taking no chances.
• 21:56
  I know you're a clever barttle, but I can't see how you're going to
• 21:57
  get your hands on steal field money now that he's dead. On the contrary,
• 22:02
  Carter, that's what makes it all so simple, because it makes Missus
• 22:06
  Brown his sole heir. And Missus Brown has been let to believe by something
• 22:10
  that I said. But I'm a lawyer, and she's ready turned over to
• 22:14
  me all the credentials necessary to claim her uncle's fortune. I'm sure my own
• 22:18
  wife will have no trouble at all convincing the real lawyers that she is Missus
• 22:23
  Brown, the real Missus Brown. Poor woman won't be with us very long.
• 22:29
  I'm afraid you don't after you? So that's your devilish game, is
• 22:33
  it? Yes? And it's a scheme that I'm sure is gonna pay off.
• 22:36
  I don't think so about Oh what do you mean? You really don't
• 22:38
  think I was foolish enough to come up here without taking certain precautions, such
• 22:41
  as what the police know exactly where I am? I'm afraid the laugh's on
• 22:45
  you A bottle? Yeah, I got out of the window. Trigger.
• 22:48
  Okay, I don't say nothing. Hey, wait, say there is a
• 22:53
  cop crosses to what's it doing? Hey? Maybe there's something to it.
• 22:57
  Bosh. Let's get the singing over with and beat it. Okay, maybe
• 23:02
  what you said was Ocarter. It isn't going to help you much. Get
• 23:04
  them up in the chairs. Boys, There you go. That's it.
• 23:11
  Other ropes died fast alone. Yeah, boys, the moroke. Well,
• 23:15
  goodbye, mister Brown and mister Carter. Kick the chairs away, boys,
• 23:23
  dance Cotter dance, dance. All right, boys, let's go back to
• 23:27
  the hideaway. So that was his plan, Patchy, I see Nick didn't
• 23:42
  come out in a half an hour. We were to go in after him.
• 23:45
  The times just about what is it, pat there's three men leaving the
• 23:49
  building. You're getting into that car and in a novel? Hurry too,
• 23:53
  Come on, Patty, let's go in. Nick. Nick? Where are
• 24:00
  you? Nick? Carter? Are you here? Try this door? He's
• 24:04
  not here. Try that one over there, he's not here. It's getting
• 24:08
  so talk again, patchy? Listen? Oh? Nick, are you all
• 24:12
  right? Let me find the light here? Nick? What's happened? What
• 24:18
  you try to hang us? That's Brown nearly passed out, but I think
• 24:22
  he's going to pull through now, Nick, are you all right now?
• 24:26
  Yeah? I'm okay. My throat's pretty sore, but I live long enough
• 24:30
  to see Bartow and his men behind bar. Take it easy, Think there's
• 24:33
  time enough for that. There isn't rally? You stay here with Brown?
• 24:37
  A cot for him? Rally? Where's yours? Just on the block?
• 24:40
  Why we're having a second to lose? We gotta follow Barto every minute counts
• 24:42
  now. The woman's life set stake. There's no sign of them yet,
• 24:57
  Nick. Oh that's all right right it keepstraight ahead on this road. Hey,
• 25:00
  do you have an extra gun in the car? Yeah? Yeah,
• 25:02
  you'll find one under the seat there? Good? Oh, yes, here
• 25:07
  it is. How does your head feel? Nick? How much better?
• 25:10
  Now? How did you ever get loose? Nick? They actually had just
• 25:12
  strung up, didn't they? They sure did? I can still feel it.
• 25:15
  Well, how did you do it? After they tied my wrist?
• 25:18
  I got barted in talking and gave me time to work them loose? Oh?
• 25:22
  You mean you swear your wrists when they tied them, so that when
• 25:23
  you relaxed, it'd be so much smaller. Huh, Except that having my
• 25:27
  hands free wouldn't have helped me much if bart On his man hadn't left right
• 25:30
  away. Fortunately, they saw you coming across the street and they ran soon
• 25:33
  as they strung us up. What did you do then, Nick? By
• 25:36
  that time, i'd work my hands loose, so I grabbed the rope above
• 25:38
  my head, pulled myself up. That was close as it was. I
• 25:42
  cut the rope with a little trick knife that's built into my thie class that
• 25:45
  I ever thought to look for one there, and I cut Brown down.
• 25:49
  Poor fellow. He was almost gone. Take Heaven's out. Smarter them,
• 25:52
  Nick, there's Herbarto, that dirty murdering no goods count h it's a car
• 25:57
  ahead of us. Oh, who's that the right one? Nick? Let
• 26:00
  me see someone's dust on that J two? Oh? Our seven? Is
• 26:08
  that last? Or six? Yes? That's a car? All right?
• 26:11
  Not take it easy, rally, I don't want to get suspicious, right.
• 26:15
  Yeah, they're turning up that dirt road, then, Nick, you
• 26:18
  shall I follow him? Say? I know where that hideout is? Now
• 26:22
  how you do. Yes, must be the old Fairbanks Cave not far from
• 26:25
  here, bart use it before you stop the car. Here. If luck's
• 26:27
  with us, this is the end of the trail and the end of Barto.
• 26:41
  Yeah, that's it over there, Rally see it now here. We
• 26:44
  got him cornered like retch, Nick, all we have to do now we
• 26:47
  sit tight and wait for him to come out. That won't do. May
• 26:49
  We got missus Brown and then we've got to get in before it's too late.
• 26:52
  Nick, there's something coming out. It's a trigger. Come on,
• 26:56
  Rally, this is that chance. Quiet Now, we'll creep up. I'm
• 27:00
  right with you. Nick, you'll get behind him. Oh that was worth
• 27:11
  twenty dollars. Now for the boss himself. Oh Boss, what are we
• 27:22
  gonna get it over with right now? Malone? Did you take a look
• 27:26
  at her? Yeah, she's all tied up the way we left it all
• 27:27
  right? Hey, trigger grigger? Yeah, boys coming, watched up that
• 27:33
  special little job on the lady inside. We're gonna take care of that right
• 27:37
  now. Then what, Boss, well do you mean then? What?
• 27:40
  Then we bury her? Of course, that's the end of missus Brown.
• 27:41
  Then my wife takes overclaims the fortune and we're all set for life. Oh
• 27:45
  yeah, yeah, I was forgetting that. You're gonna palm the wife off
• 27:48
  as Missus Brown. You talk too much trigger. I prefer action, and
• 27:51
  so do I get your hands up? Playing bart on you to own?
• 27:52
  Hey? What is this? Boys is by by his own b They caught
• 27:57
  it. It can't be boss, what it is? Now? Back up,
• 28:00
  both of you and keep those hands up high. Alrighty, come on
• 28:04
  in good work, Nick? What are you in time? Yes, Missus
• 28:08
  Brown's okay, she's inside there. I guess we can call it a day.
• 28:12
  Nick is saved the lives of the Browns, and we got butto and
• 28:15
  his gang where we can put him away forever. That's right, that's true.
• 28:19
  Clint Barter and his tricks hoist by his own pretid What in the world
• 28:25
  does that expression mean? Nick? That Oh, it's an old Hindu proverb
• 28:27
  Raley. It means man who make news for other fellow sometime find it around
• 28:33
  own Nick. This has been another of the strange adventures of Nick Carter,
• 28:53
  Master Detective, which are brought to you regularly at the same time by w
• 28:59
  R. Mutual. What's on the menu for next week? Nick? Imagine
• 29:02
  a murderer sitting in the death cell it States prison. It's just eight hours
• 29:06
  before he's scheduled to die in the electric chair, and then suddenly he sends
• 29:08
  for Nick Carter to prove he's innocent. Why he waits long before he sent
• 29:11
  for Nick, Well, that's all I part of the story, Joe.
• 29:15
  But I want to tell you that the next eight hours are about the busiest
• 29:18
  eight hours that Nick ever spent. And was he innocent? That's also a
• 29:21
  part of next week's story. In other words, mister Ripley, we're just
• 29:23
  not telling anymore until next week, so I see. But I think when
• 29:26
  you've heard it, you'll agree that it's a story well worth hearing. So
• 29:30
  long, So long, Folk, So long to both of you for another
• 29:33
  week. In the strange adventure you have just heard, Nick Carter was impersonated
• 29:37
  by Lon Clark, Patsy by Helen Choate. The story was written for Nick
• 29:42
  Carter by Ralph Burkey. Original music was played by Lou White. The entire
• 29:47
  production was under the direction of Jack McGregor. Next week, at the same
• 30:00
  time, listen to another curious experience of Nick Carter, entitled nine Hours to
• 30:06
  Live Our Nick Carter and the Mystery of the Deathhouse. This story is a
• 30:17
  copyrighted feature of Street and Smith's Publications Incorporated. The Return of Nick Carter is
• 30:22
  produced in the studios of WR and is broadcast over most of these stations every
• 30:26
  Saturday evening at seven o'clock Eastern wartime. This is mutual welcome back. Well,
• 30:49
  a little shock that it didn't quite work out for Nick, even though
• 30:55
  we ought to see more of that Master of Disguss thing. It was almost
• 30:57
  like they were trying to build this guy up as almost an American Moriarty.
• 31:03
  Of course, it's kind of hard to do that if you dispose of them
• 31:06
  in the same episode you introduce him in. But nevertheless, a pretty interesting
• 31:14
  episode. I should mention that the lost episodes we had from November twenty fourth,
• 31:21
  the Disappearing Corpse, the December fourth, the West Dock Street murders,
• 31:27
  then the Secret of the Ruined Fort and the Newsrael Crime. Then they had
• 31:32
  the Christmas episode, and then this long I'm looking at otrsite dot com list
• 31:38
  the Newsreel Crime again. So whether there was an error in the log or
• 31:42
  they opted to play it twice, I do not know, but anyway,
• 31:52
  that was that for this episode. In Nick Carter. Well, now we
• 31:55
  turned to some listener comments and feedback, and we have Dawn says just simply
• 32:01
  love the shows. Cody offers a comment on the first Nick Carter show,
• 32:08
  Nick Carter is not my favorite show, but it's not the worst. However,
• 32:14
  this episode was bad. I think they took the script from an old
• 32:16
  Loan Arranger episode. That being said, I like what you're doing, Adam.
• 32:21
  Keep up the great work, Thanks so much. Not certain if I'm
• 32:25
  not an expert in the Loan Ranger, but any listeners out there who are,
• 32:30
  it'd be interesting to pinpoint the script because I love it. You know,
• 32:34
  it's kind of easy to do a straightforward adaptation from one type of detective
• 32:39
  to another. I always find it interesting when a program is adapted from an
• 32:45
  entirely different genre. For example, there was an episode of Voyage of the
• 32:51
  Scarlet Queen that was later adapted into an episode of Johnny Doller, and an
• 32:55
  episode of Sam Spay turned into an episode of Mister Moto. Those are all
• 33:00
  fun to actually see an execution. And then we have an email in from
• 33:05
  Mirth who says, mister g at the end of your plate again at a
• 33:13
  extra series, you asked for ideas for future extras. Here are a couple.
• 33:15
  What about shows that feature very famous actors who might not fit precisely into
• 33:21
  the Great Detector's format. For example, Lionel, Barrymore and Nuares did Doctor
• 33:25
  Kildare on the radio in the early fifties. It wasn't a detective series,
• 33:29
  but add a good bit of crime, a mystery, and of course Barrymore
• 33:31
  was one of the biggest names in Hollywood from year. You could also include
• 33:36
  an episode of Bold Venture Bullgard and MacCall. I'm sure you could find other
• 33:42
  actors. I suspect you might be introducing some of your listeners to the work
• 33:45
  they may have heard, but they may have heard of but not seen or
• 33:50
  heard themselves. This is actually a pretty interesting idea. I'm instrigued by it,
• 33:58
  and I already have is for shows where I would kind of like it
• 34:02
  to be something that it has a mystery format, even if the show's not
• 34:09
  typically a mystery, where there's some sort of mystery in the episode. That's
• 34:15
  my first two ideas come from Doctor Christian and from Mayor of the Town.
• 34:22
  But there might be something I could use for Bold Venture too. Many of
• 34:27
  those scripts written by Fine and Freaking. That's a good suggestion, and it
• 34:34
  says here's another idea. I imagine you could find shows in which some of
• 34:37
  our actors are playing very different sort of roles. I don't have examples,
• 34:40
  but I imagine there were some of Dick Poll and Allen Land shows where their
• 34:45
  characters were different from what we know from Richard Diamond and Box thirteen. As
• 34:51
  you know, a lot of radio actors were extremely versatile. This would be
• 34:55
  could be a way to highlight their versatility. Uh. Actually that's what we
• 35:01
  do with a lot of the app extras, and we found some very interesting
• 35:07
  ones with Richard Diamond, I mean with Dick Powell and with Alan Ladd.
• 35:14
  Both they were of course more movie actors who appeared on the radio, so
• 35:20
  they those were not as versatile as some of those we found, for example
• 35:23
  for Jack Webb or for William Johnstone. But it could be a thought to
• 35:31
  bring some of that material to listeners in a special I know, like with
• 35:39
  Alan Ladd, we found his guest appearances on Abbott and Costello, and there
• 35:46
  was one of Dick Powell playing Avengeful fight trainer, and then another one quite
• 35:53
  a few from his musical comedy days, which are kind of interesting. So
• 35:59
  uh, those are both good suggestions and we'll see what listener feedback is and
• 36:04
  what seems like a finalist. But I appreciate you contributing to discussion, and
• 36:10
  he mentions that thanks for the great work you're doing sorting and appreciating the funding
• 36:15
  drive. But I'm a creature of having and we'll keep to my end of
• 36:21
  your schedule for sending a contribution. Well, thanks so much, Murph,
• 36:24
  And that's part of the reason why we do actually have some extras that we'll
• 36:30
  give throughout the year now because if to say thank you to all those listeners
• 36:37
  who contribute throughout the year in addition to the premium side. All right,
• 36:40
  well, thanks so much for all your feedback, all your comments, and
• 36:45
  I appreciate particularly those two really good suggestions for Mirph, and I love your
• 36:50
  suggestions for what we could do play it again. We could definitely do again.
• 36:54
  I wouldn't want to do it too soon, just because when you're only
• 37:00
  doing one hundred odds shows every half year, it's best not to look back
• 37:07
  that way more than once a year. So if you have any other suggestions,
• 37:09
  love to hear hear it all. Right. We'll send your comments to
• 37:13
  Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net. Follow us on Twitter Radio Detectives,
• 37:16
