3:13
Nick and Patsy are deep in consultation on a new method of blood classification.
3:16
When there's an urgent ring on the doorbell. That's the answer, is it?
3:20
And ushers in a little gray lady, very nervous and very frightening.
3:24
Look if we have a guest for lunch. Nick's lady says, she's an
3:28
old friend of yours. I don't know whether you refolect me, mister Cotton.
3:31
You're a great and famous remember you. Why of course I have you?
3:35
How are you, missus Nelson in age? Now? You do remember
3:38
it's continue since I cooked for you, ma'am. This is my secretary.
3:44
How do you do now? Is the greatest apple pie baker in the East?
3:46
Thank you kindly, mister Catty. Well, what you gonna do for
3:51
you, missus Nelson? Well, Sarah, Oh, it's a funny thing.
3:54
I've got a job now over at a max Well manufacturing planned. I
3:59
clean up night, so I live near as I can to the plan to
4:01
save treveling time is seen. Oh it's a very nice little board now,
4:06
and a very nice man runs it. And mister Harrow, Now I didn't
4:11
have any complaints until now. What's happened, miss Nelson. Well, you
4:15
see it's like this. I like a bit of color in my room,
4:17
so I pasted things on the wall, all kinds of bright ribbon, bright
4:23
labels, and colored pictures. It makes the kind of patchwork quilt you see.
4:27
Must be very pleasant. Oh, it was, mister Carter until yesterday.
4:31
Mister Harrow, My landlord is a paper hanger by profession, and yesterday
4:36
I come home from work to find that he'd papered the whole room with new
4:40
wallpaper. He just covered over everything. You didn't know he was going to
4:45
do it. Oh, no shirt, it covers an awful shock, I
4:48
says to him. I says, mister Harrow, you take that paper off.
4:51
I want my own decorations back. And he says, missus Nelson,
4:56
you've got wallpaper free gratison for nothing, and you just be great fool.
5:00
He didn't paper any other room in the house. About how bigger room do
5:04
you have? Midland size room, sir, So you're upset because you've lost
5:09
your own decorations, and you want to know why a landlord should paper your
5:12
wall with arcur even asking it's worse than that. I know why he won't
5:16
take that paper off. There's code on it, that's what And he's a
5:20
spy, that's what he is, mister Carteret, and that's why I've come
5:24
to you. See, Well, missus Nelson, we can't let her old
5:28
friend down. We'll go right off with you and investigate this code of warfare,
5:32
and even if there are no spies involved, we'll see if we can't
5:34
get your own decorations back. Nothing's too good for the champion apple pie baker
5:40
of the East. So this is a pretty gratis and for nothing wallpaper.
5:57
Oh it's very nice, missus Nelson denying that. Miss All I'm saying is
6:01
I don't want it here. Well, now let's see that right on the
6:05
border. Still, you see there's a squidly lined with dots and dashes around
6:10
it. And I saw it, Yes, yes, I see. Well
6:13
that's just a conventional design. Make gets repeated over and over. It couldn't
6:16
be coded. Yes, I'm afraid Patsy's right by anglers out, mister Elson.
6:21
The other question isn't answered. Why did the landlord suddenly give you a
6:26
new wallpaper for no apparent reasons? Well, I don't know, sir.
6:29
Maybe there was something valuable on the wall that he wanted. Perhaps, exactly
6:33
what did you use to decorate your world with, missus Nelson? Like I
6:36
said, their old calendars and labels, any old shares of stock? Now
6:42
what would I be doing with stock shares? Miss Here? Here, I've
6:46
got some stuff saved up that I was going to use. I'll show it
6:48
to you right in my closet. You can see for yourself. It wasn't
6:51
anything, mister Coster. I'll get him out of here. Mister Hell,
7:02
my land lord himself in the closet. Hook yes, and he's unquestionably jet
7:21
pay nails him down the sitting room. She's feeling a little generlly, what
7:27
a mess. Yes, she's aggued me not to send for the police.
7:30
She's afraid as she gets mixed up in a police case, she'll never get
7:31
another job. But you've got to call the police in le suicide, don't
7:35
you. We're not going to call in the police. And this wasn't suicide.
7:39
Me. Look at Betsy Hell. Apparently hung himself from this hook high
7:42
up in the closet wall, right, Yes, how did he get there?
7:45
Well, he stood on that closed hamper under his feet, hiding out
7:47
around his neck into the hook, and then hung himself. And how do
7:50
you account for the fact that the closed hamper is fifteen inches under his dangling
7:54
feet? What did you do? Jump up? Pull himself up? Impossible?
7:58
And it's murdered the capitol, m the police, and just about ruin
8:03
everything for missus Nelson. Was at an officer of Sergeant Mathieson's calipher, say,
8:07
when he found a man murdered in Missus Nelson's room after they'd had a
8:09
fight about wallpaper. Oh yes, and he'd have no choice but to lock
8:13
her up and hold her on suspicion of murder. Exactly, I said,
8:16
I do missus Nelson a favor, and I will I'll crack this case with
8:20
a minimum of treble for her. I don't like it, Nate, But
8:24
what do we do? Look here, Patsy, you can't miss the connection.
8:26
The murders tied up with the wallpaper. Well, that's right. The
8:28
only trouble is what's the wallpaper tied up with? Something on the wall okay,
8:35
and your fingers along the wall. He was a lumpy pattern of missus
8:39
Nelson's decorations under the paper. Mister Harrow did not put up that paper to
8:43
steal anything from underneath? And why did he gabby? His answer, to
8:46
conceal something you cantal what? But I'd like to find out come on on
8:50
Harrold's rooms. Missus Nelson said. It was in the back of the house.
8:54
Probably find his paper hanging equipment there. And then what then we're going
8:58
to rip this paper off the wall? He sits daunting here think fist into
9:18
the course of the adjoining n like the switch wasn't look in the bedroom?
9:26
That's yesn okay, go kind of a guy who loves Harrow anyway, a
9:37
brand new and expensive You don't buy any one of them for less than sixty
9:41
dollars three in the room of the boarding house land. Yeah, this is
9:48
beginning to get curious, or and curious or a stop behind the bed got
9:52
a blight. It was the killer after the perfume bottles where up front?
10:03
Door? Quin? All right, wise, guy, all right, you
10:09
would have well well mister Nick Carter and company dog Madison, Hi, Maddy,
10:16
just in time did the man come out the first time for what?
10:18
Murder? Oh? You know about that? Know about us? What do
10:20
you think I'm not doing out here? Lesten Marty. We gotta work fast.
10:22
The killer is never mind the fast talk, Nick. I want a
10:24
couple of quiet words with you. You know why I came out here.
10:28
I'm listening impatiently. I get a call ten minutes ago. Guy with the
10:31
name of Harrow just bumped off. That's right, and the course said he
10:35
was bumped off by none other than Nick Carter himself. You can't think that,
10:39
Nick. Now listen, Patsy. I'm not saying I believe Nick killed
10:43
anybody, but you better explain how he neglected to notify homicide as soon as
10:48
he found the body. That's a criminal offense in this city. I'll explain
10:50
in a few minutes. Matic come on in the set room. More tricks,
10:54
huh, you pull some fast one on me and your time. Nick.
10:56
I listen. This is Gosmo. It's a little old lady and the
10:58
friend of mine name is is Now. She'll explain how Patsy and I came
11:01
to this case. Okay, okay, Nelson, You're sorry to bother you,
11:05
but the place is empty. Where's the ol lady you're going to produce?
11:11
Never mind shouting passing, I'm afraid missus Nelson's gone, And from the
11:15
look in Matty's eyes, I'm afraid we're in a jam. A murder committed
11:26
because of wallpaper, a killer who steals perfume bottles, and the disappearing witness.
11:31
How is Nick going to straighten us out? With Sergeant Matheson barking over
11:33
his shoulder, we'll see in just a moment. There's an old saying that
11:37
if you want something done well, it's best to do it to yourself.
11:41
But nowadays the truth is this, when you want your floors and linoleum to
11:45
have perfect care, let Linax self polishing wax do the job. You see.
11:48
Linax self polishing wax is completely new, developed by leading research chemists to
11:54
give you the finest as you'll prove for yourself in one quick home test,
11:58
apply Linax self polishing wax to any hardwood, linoleum or rubber tile floor.
12:03
It takes just a jiffy to wipe on and dries without tiresome rubbing to a
12:07
handsome luster that lasts and lasts. First, you'll notice the satney beauty that
12:11
only real wax can give. Second, when you step on that floor,
12:16
you'll learn why Linax self polishing wax is called the anti skid finish, for
12:20
your floor is less slippery than it wants to begin with. This fact has
12:24
been proved by the underwriter's laboratories. On third, you'll be delighted with the
12:28
way the finish lasts. For Linax self polishing wax has the highest possible content
12:33
of genuine carnava wax. There's no doubt about it. Linax self polishing wax
12:37
is well worth trying. Once you've tried it, you'll follow the example of
12:41
all the wise American homemakers who use it regularly. Ask your dealer now for
12:46
Linax self Polishing wax or all three great Linax home Brightness, the modern shortcuts
12:52
to household care. And now back to our story. Investigating the strange complaint
13:07
of Missus Nelson that her landlord has papered the walls of her room against her
13:11
wishes, Nick discovers the landlord murdered. In the dead man's bedroom, Nick
13:15
finds six bottles of expensive perfume, which are stolen by the killer. In
13:18
the daring attack. Nick's pursuit of the killer is stopped by Sergeant Matheson,
13:22
who arrives after an anonymous call told him of the murder and accused Nick.
13:26
But when Nick tried to produce missus Nelson to prove his story, she vanished.
13:31
Now, Nick, Patsy, and Matty meet in the front hall after
13:33
searching the house. That it's no use, Nick, We've been through the
13:35
house from top to bottom. It's empty, which means I'm accused of the
13:41
murder and kidnapping. Now, I won't say that I know you're no crook,
13:43
but I wouldn't put it past you the hijack of witness if you thought
13:46
it would help you to solve the case. Not this time, may Well
13:50
we're in place is issue. Travaby in the hands of the killer. Rababi
13:52
grabbed her after we had duck into Harrow's bedroom under our noses and grabbed the
13:56
perfume. Hey, what's all this about perfume and wallpaper? What's a connection?
14:00
Nick? You are the policeman, Marry. I'm just an ordinary citizen.
14:03
Nah nah, nah, don't take it that way. Nick. I
14:05
never said you weren't useful. Now and then I just f just my little
14:09
joke. Here's a setup. A murderer killed harro and tried to frame the
14:13
death as a suicide. And this is Nelson's room right ever under the killer
14:16
wanted to silence Harrow about what about why Harrold papered Missus Nelson's wall? So
14:20
there is something hidden on the wall. There is something tied up with the
14:22
bottles of perfume stolen from Harrow's room. Killer probably ducked out the back way
14:26
with the bottles and missus Nelson. We day get up to Missus Nelson's room
14:30
and get that wallpaper down right, we'll hold it some of the front door
14:33
looks like a man stand by? Hi, have brother? Hey? What
14:39
are you mister Spieler Wilson. Isn't this the best pitch man in the city.
14:43
Sidewalkspiels and sales a specialty. What are you doing here? Spieler?
14:48
GEEZU didn't you give me a scare for a minute. I ain't doing nothing
14:50
here. I oughtn't I live here? You live here? How interesting,
14:54
Maddie. Yeah, I suppose you have somebody get that wallpaper off Missus Nelson's
14:58
walls. I just put on so recently that you should get it off.
15:00
Without disturbing what's underneath it. Okay, Nick and Spieler, suppose we go
15:03
up to your room. What fuck you about a murder? Well? That's
15:22
what do you know about the lady who lives next door? Yeah, Nelson,
15:26
we've been pals over a year. I got her job Albert the Maxwell
15:30
plant. Yeah, that doesn't make sense, Spiller, and says Nelson,
15:33
since you moved in here to be near a job to save traveling time,
15:35
I wish should it make sense? I didn't say I didn't know her before
15:39
she moved in. I got it a job and got her to live here.
15:41
You know anything more about her? How she spent her time? Not
15:46
much. She cleaned up in the plants from six to midnight, come home
15:50
around one, didn't usually get up till ten. Used to hang around the
15:54
house mostly, Hey, come on in, tell me Maddy. One last
16:00
question, Spieler, how are you having that statuel you were caring when you
16:04
came in? Mind if I have a look, no, mister Canneban,
16:08
Well, it wouldn't interest you. If it's just the stuff I've been pitching
16:12
on the States these days, wouldn't interest me? Would it be? Golly
16:21
bottles and bottles? Of perfume. Well, I got most of the paper
16:37
off Nick. Oh what a job that was. Incidentally, what did you
16:41
get out of Spieler? Few interesting facts? Most interesting is the fact that
16:45
he's pitching perfume these days. Well for the lover. What didn't the killers
16:51
steal perfume from Harrow's room? Yes? What are we waiting for? Some
16:55
real evidence? Coincidence? I have one of your men, Tail Wilson.
17:00
Yes, what, Pussimary. You don't seem to understand. I want to
17:02
break this case, and I want to do it. The promise is Nelson's
17:03
hurt. He's been taken by the killer, and that means he isn't ready
17:07
to kill her yet, but he may make up his mind soon. We've
17:10
better get her before then. Yeah, how I must look at these walls.
17:15
It's obvious I'm foul here that points to the killer. You better find
17:19
it, Okay, plenty of calendar scenes, lots of colored papers. Ms
17:26
Nelson had rather gaudy taste, call it bride. Oh, here are labels.
17:34
He's looked like hat box designs. I'm over here, looks like drug
17:38
labels, cooked narcotics. Maybe he only hears something. It's still a lot
17:44
more interesting. Patsy, remember the name of the perfume stolen from Harrow's room.
17:48
It was Paris is Danger. And the name of the perfume Speeler is
17:52
selling Paris is Exotic. And here are labels, all from the Paris firm
17:56
Exotic, Danger, Nuance and so on. But why did missus Nelson get
18:00
hold of them? Well she she bought him, or she picked them up
18:04
somewhere, or she isn't what I am. You can't buy exclusive firm labels,
18:08
and she didn't pick this many up just somewhere. Why would you find
18:12
fifty perfume labels all at once? Well maybe she got them off a perfume
18:17
bottle, be suggestion. So far only one hits Patsy and the material missus
18:22
Nelson had in her closet for decorating her words are ten more perfume labels and
18:26
they're all grand new and usually it's in the backs, is fresh and untouched.
18:30
For the love of Pete Nick, what's it me means Patsy and I
18:33
are going down to the Paris company and find out where their labels are made.
18:36
There's got to be a tie in between them and murder Madam and missus,
18:55
it is announced you wish to seek with me on mat of us business.
18:59
Yes, at your very kind of you, Madame Pis, you are
19:03
Madame Peis. If we let me produce myself, I'm Nick Carter. This
19:07
is my secretary, Miss Patsy Bowen. It's a great pleasure to meet you,
19:11
Miss cat. Did you say Nick Carter? Be Nick Carter? That's
19:17
right? Care for Madam Bear's your accent show? Who never mind the phony
19:19
accent? That's for the customers. What's on your mind, mister Carter?
19:22
It's a case of murder, and I think you may be able to tell
19:26
me something that will help anything. Anything you say. Paris Incorporator is a
19:30
pretty big outfort, one of the biggest cosmetic manufacturers in the world. Do
19:33
you manufacture all your products yourself? We do? How about the containers,
19:37
Oh, we make those two? Who does the packing and handle it?
19:40
We do, print you on labels, design and print them ourselves. But
19:44
I don't see what this has got to do with murder. A murder has
19:47
been committed, and I think it's centers around some of your products. Will
19:49
you tell me where this particular perfume label is designed and printed? Let's see
19:56
it's not it. That's a funny thing, mister Carter. It's funny.
20:00
We gave up that line more than a year ago. I'd say. We
20:03
haven't manufactured any of these labels in over a year. Very interesting. Would
20:07
there be any stock on hand, any place in the city where they could
20:11
be obtained, mister Carter. Exclusive labels are like money. You keep them
20:14
in a safe. There aren't any of these in stock, and if there
20:17
were, they wouldn't be where anyone could get hold of them. Explain it
20:22
all right, Thanks a lot, madam pass We won't trouble you anymore.
20:26
It's been a pleasures. It has been a pleasure. Let me know,
20:33
if you apprehend this murderer, I will name the perfume Masovik vice. Very
20:55
yes, this is awful. Looks like we aren't going to get anywhere with
20:57
this case. You're wrong. Get into the car. He's found something,
21:03
even though Madam Paris Mada in Paris said plenty didn't. For the love of
21:08
Pete again, they call it just driball I know. Get in, quit,
21:11
keep your eye on him, keep the killer after us. Yes,
21:15
can you still see the car? Yes, he's up ahead. Turney into
21:18
that side street. What's the license number? Get it down. I can't
21:19
see it. He said it with mud. Hold on, we're making the
21:22
turn off the room. Okay, see him, I think so you're turning
21:26
again. Up ahead. We'll get him. Say oh, correction, he
21:34
got us. It's like the blown up front tire. She'd like ran through
21:37
a mess of broken glass. That's too coincidental, it'd be real. Come
21:41
on, Bessie, right, I have a look at that glass. An
21:45
mister Killer's a very smart person. Massive broken glass thrown out behind this car
21:48
would be just the thing to slow up, and it pursuers. And here
21:51
we are sat the perfume model, famously the one stoles from Harrow's room,
21:57
thrown overboard to save the killer a scrim. I'm afraid it didn't work this
22:02
time. They want to know why. That's a why he goes? This
22:04
is a side street and all I can smell is uncollected garbage. Nick,
22:07
are you crazy? All right? Way till I call him maddam and get
22:11
a police car and we'll call on the killer and let him explain himself.
22:30
This is close enough, we'll get out here. I'm on, Paddy,
22:33
How can I move my l right? Ready your next We go in here?
22:37
Quiet? Please? Well? What in places is this place? We're
22:41
coming in the back door of a walk planet. This is the department that
22:45
prints labels and things. Want you here and the press is working. You
22:52
need moment. Paris was lying when she said the client, we're going into
22:57
this office here. I want you are to follow my lead? Right?
23:00
Yeah? But Nick, here we go? Yes? What is it?
23:07
Mister Maxwell? Yes? Who are you believe you've seen me before? I'm
23:11
Nick Carter. What do you want, mister Carter? A confession? Confession
23:15
of what have the murder of mister Harold, the kidnapping of Missus Nelson,
23:18
and of the smartest racket ever worked in this city, counterfeitting valuable label.
23:22
You're out of your mind, Carter? Out of my mind? Am I
23:26
passy bringing missus Nelson? I'd see what mister Maxwell says when she confronts him.
23:33
You've got Missus Nelson outside. Uh, you are fool You think that
23:37
fluffill work on me. You haven't got we haven't got, mister Maxwell,
23:41
go ahead, nothing You're going to say, Well you haven't got missus Nelson.
23:47
Huh. Only one person could know that, mister Maxwell and that's the
23:49
killer. The only way you could know whether that Missus Nelson has been rescued
23:52

25:33
himself. No, Nick, I was surprised when we found missus Nelson hidden
25:37
away in Maxwell's plant as he did well, as I did uced earlier Patsey.
25:40
Maxwell wasn't ready to kill her until he found out exactly how much she'd
25:42
told us about his racket. He suspector because she brought me into the case.
25:47
She really knew nothing about the point Patsy. On the side, Maxwell
25:51
counterfeited rare and expensive labels. Missus Nelson used to pick them up while she
25:55
was cleaning her on the planet. She brought them home the decorator walls,
25:57
but he never realized anything shady was going on. No, of course,
26:02
not now. Speeder Wilson bought his pony labels from Maxwell for the pony perfume
26:07
he sold and when he saw some of those labels on Missus Nelson's walls,
26:11
he waron Maxwell that someone else might see them and get wise to their racket.
26:15
So to cover up quietly, Maxwell had harrow paper over the walls.
26:19
Unfortunately, Harro probably got wise when he found the fresh labels on Missus Nelson's
26:23
closet, the ones he was saving to put on the walls. He took
26:26
some down with him and prepared pony bottles to perfume, tasted the labels on
26:30
and had plenty of evidence to blackmail Maxwell. So Maxwell killed him and then
26:34
came back to the bottles, and we were there right. All of Maxwell's
26:38
efforts centered around covering up a million dollar racket. He killed Harro for this.
26:42
He trailed me, and when it seemed I was furning out his secret
26:45
at Madame Perris, try to kill me, Ny. That brings us to
26:48
your crack about smelling garbage. After he stopped us by throwing those perfume bottles
26:52
in front of our car, Well, that was obvious, Betsy, there'd
26:55
been real perfume in those bottles. We'd just smelled nothing but perfume. As
26:57
we didn't, it showed the bottle those contain doped up water, proving definitely
27:02
that bottles perfumed labels were all cony. Oh well, Nick, what's doing
27:07
you got the next week? Imagine next week we have a very strange case.
27:11
I received a letter from a housemaid in a wealthy home on Park Avenue.
27:15
Oh yeah, welcome back. Well not the first thing you think of
27:18
when it comes to counterfeiting, but certainly an interesting crime and interesting solution.
27:26
Perhaps more noteworthy than the case itself is kind of the shift we've seen from
27:33
when Lieutenant Riley was the police foil to the current officer. As we're seeing
27:42
less of the awe at the very bane of Nick Carter, which was really
27:48
such a characteristic of Riley. Matheson is far less trusty, and this,
27:55
of course is not on the level of a Helman Novak relationship, but it's
28:00
a shift, and I think it probably brings a little bit more realism,
28:06
or at least realism for the genre it's in. And it's going to be
28:10
interesting to see because we have episodes of Nick Carter going all the way through
28:15
nineteen forty nine. It'll be interesting to see how this show shifts. And
28:22
I don't know how it is going to shift because I don't listened to any
28:26
shows past what we've played today. See as the hard Boiled Private and I
28:32
comes into play, how Nick Carter changes and adjusts to that. But we'll
28:37
have more media concerns next week as we just bring you next week's episode of
28:41
Nick Carter, and be sure and listen to us tomorrow for yours truly,
