1:15
a total of six. The original airdate of this program is September seventh,
1:22
nineteen forty seven, and the title is the Case of the Bearded Queen.
1:30
Nick. Isn't there any way out of here? I've gone over every
1:34
inch of it. Patsy, There's not a chance I'd like being buried alive.
1:38
I almost wish he had shot us. It would be better than than
1:42
dying like this. I'm going to make him wish he'd shot us too.
1:48
In fact, I'm going to make him come back to do it right now
1:57
and all the case of a bearded Queen. Today's Adventure with Nick Carter brought
2:01
to you by a new post war old Dutch wentor Today's Scubby Wilson reporter on
2:08
the Globe Gazette finally got delivery on his new car, and he's preparing to
2:13
give Nick's secretary, Patchy Vaughn has one and only girlfriend the first ride.
2:17
Why don't we turn this corner and you get a look at it? Tasty,
2:21
the thickest glost little convertible that ever came out of Detroit. No more
2:23
right in the elevated ay, Scubby, no man. When Scubby Wilson drives
2:29
by, strong men will turn green with envy, and fair ladies will swoop.
2:32
If you like, you're gonna let me drive, well, I might
2:37
let my wife drive if I ever get one. So if you care qua
2:39
but the young teens time, Scubby knows that, Oh, I mean it's
2:44
passy. Where's a car like that? Think of what a honeymoon we could
2:46
have Canada? Maybe here the rock, Thanks Scubby, But I think I'll
2:51
stay single, and the pedestrian. That's only because you haven't seen the car
2:54
yet. Oh and now before we turn the corner, maybe you'd better shade
2:58
your eyes. It may prove of its dead the lecture in the corner.
3:00
And see, oh came a good woman. But don't say I didn't warn
3:04
you. Now behold the pride of the motor car industry, the glory of
3:08
well holly cats. My new car's gone. Somebody stolen us, all right,
3:23
sergeant. And if the car should turn out this afternoon when you call
3:27
me here at my office, thanks a lot, goodbye. What do you
3:30
say, Nick, Nothing yet, Scubby. They put it on the police
3:34
radio, but it wasn't very encouraging. There's been an epidemic of car thefts
3:38
lately, and none of the stolen cars has been recovered. Oh geez,
3:42
Scubby, that's tough. Oh fine, fine. Fifteen hundred dollars and I
3:46
only drove a twenty blocks brother, that's the most expensive taxi, right I
3:50
ever had had the police any ideas, Nick, Yes, yes they do,
3:53
Patsy. I think it's the work of a gang of boys about sixteen
3:57
or seventeen. My kids that age wouldn't be able to sell the cars that
4:00
they did steal them, would they? Oh well not unless they were booked
4:03
up with some crooked used car dealer who had a place where the cars could
4:06
be repainted and the serial numbers changed. Exactly. If kids are stealing cars
4:13
on a large scale, they're working for some adult. And there's nothing more
4:16
rotten than a crook who makes criminals out of youngsters. Some kids seem to
4:20
be born that way. Oh no, they're not scuttling, They're not scubby.
4:24
It's a matter of environment and training. Remember, these boys grew up
4:27
with no place to play except the streets under the elevated Give them a third
4:30
chance and they're all right. That's true. Scufby Nick proved it with the
4:33
Downtown Boys Club right by. Some of those fellows down there had pretty bad
4:38
records and we got them. But now i'd trust them anyway. Oh I
4:41
know. But at the same time, I'll let me get it. Hello,
4:48
yeah, speaking huh oh, hey, that's great. They found it,
4:56
not even scratched, eh you sure? Oh swell? Oh who took
5:02
it? You know? Oh? Yes, yes, I know him.
5:10
I'll thanks, sergeantal Be write down, just tell him by somebody who knows
5:15
Gubby somebody we all know, pet Danny Walker. Danny Walker, I hate
5:20
belonged to the Downtown Boys Club. Are you sure? Sergeant Brady says they've
5:26
arrested him and he admitted taking it. I can't believe it. Come on,
5:30
we're going to look into this thing right now. I'll lay off.
5:43
Well you, Nick, I told you if i'd known the car belong to
5:46
a friend of yours, I wouldn't it took. It's you. I'm interested
5:48
in, Danny, not the car. I don't like to see you here
5:50
in jail. The first member of the club was going to travel in more
5:54
than a year. I'm gonna find out why and help you if I can.
5:57
I don't belong to your club no more. A month ago when my
6:00
folks moved over to the West Side. Oh that's so, I knew you
6:04
hadn't been around, right they. But I didn't know you'd quit. Oh
6:06
I damn. Clubs is kids stuff. I'm eighteen years old, Danny.
6:11
Listen, we've been pretty good friends. Oh look, Nick, you're a
6:14
good joe. Say, even if you are a private eye. But let
6:17
me alone, will you? No, Danny, I won't. And you
6:20
came out of reform school you gave me your word to go straight, and
6:24
until now you have what's changed you, Danny? What's happened to you?
6:27
Well, I I lost that job you got me, and I had to
6:31
get some money quick, see it. It's kind of a death of honor.
6:39
Like so I sweped the car to get the dough and I got caught.
6:43
And that's that. You stole that car for somebody else, didn't you?
6:46
No, I didn't. I stole it from me, Danny. Look,
6:48
I came here to go your bail because we're friends and because I thought
6:51
you honestly wanted to go straight and you can help me protect other boys.
6:56
I'm getting into trouble the same way you did. If you'll only tell me,
6:59
now turned stoop and huh, Well, I won't do it, no,
7:02
sir, I tried going straight and it didn't work. I'll take this
7:05
wrap. I'll make up for it when I get out. I'll make up
7:10
for it plenty. So elevated train take so much noise as the wonder or
7:25
anyone get any sleep around here? Good news for anything, Cassy. Oh,
7:29
there's Scubby in front of that delicate passion and there's a space where we
7:32
can park. I hope he's unable to find out something. Oh beautiful,
7:36
Hello Scubby Byron Nick. Do you have any luck, Scubby? No,
7:41
not much. There's a gang in this neighborhood, all right, but the
7:44
kids wouldn't talk to me. They have any regular place to meet. There's
7:46
no settlement house, no boys club, but some of them hang out at
7:49
the West Pine Street garride A garage. I don't get excited. I know
7:54
it sounds like a perfect lead, but I met the boss, and if
7:58
he's a crook, I'm Jesse James Well, I'd like to talk to him
8:00
anywhere. What's he like? Nice? Ol fellow? I am a favorite.
8:03
Everybody calls him. I did a lot you Nick, what I said?
8:11
I think you and Pop's favorites will have a lot of comment. I'll
8:18
never mind. You'll see for yourself. Come on, I just don't know
8:30
why the thing was to calla Why Danny used to mind the gasoline pumps from
8:33
when I'd go out to eat. Maybe there'd be thirty or forty dollars in
8:35
the cash reshes and he never touched his sentiment. I swear to that.
8:39
I see, Oh, Pops, No, not a thing, Joe,
8:43
Hey, I want you to meet my friend, miss Boone. Mister Wilson.
8:46
Hello, I'm miss ter cottam Dacotta. How do you do? This
8:50
is Joe Fernie. He keeps his taxi here and I take his calls for
8:54
him. Nick kinda the private eye. Huh, heard about you? And
8:58
I'll up front. Pops in the office, right, Joe, Come on,
9:03
miss Kata, you folks too. I want to show you something I
9:07
didn't tell Nick about this. Mister Bainbridge, I thought you'd like to do
9:09
it yourself. All right in here, we'll ride down the elevator. Will
9:16
you push the button at the car, the one mark B. We'll go
9:18
in the basement. Oh, certainly, what this on the barn? You'll
9:22
see in a minute, Nick. Oh cigarette, mister Bambridge. The names
9:26
Pops. No thanks, I don't smoke, Gotty. Don't you see the
9:30
no smoking sign on the wall? Oh? Sorry, got These garage elevators
9:35
are big things on the well. We parked cars on the upper floor and
9:37
use this elevator to take them up. Oh there now, Oh, I
9:46
find the lights. It's we are hi. It's a clubroom. Oh look,
9:50
Nick, a handball court and there's a dark game on the radio checker
9:56
game that chaids here. You've done all right here, Bob, well much.
10:00
But I've seen a lot of boys get into trouble hanging around the street.
10:03
So hey, here's a deck of cars. Like to try a hand
10:05
at Jim rummy? Nick? Oh no thanks. Look, Nick, somebody's
10:11
been doing a little art work on these cards. You see the bed on
10:13
this Queen of park. Whoever drew that has talent even changed the expression on
10:18
her face. Hey, that's pretty good. I hope I was helping the
10:20
boys by fixing up this place. But now I don't know. Why do
10:24
you say that? Props? Oh look what happened to Danny, one of
10:26
the finest youngsters I ever knew. Now, maybe hanging around the garage he
10:31
had got him on in the car of his own. I'm afraid it's not
10:33
that simple, Pops. Well, thanks for your time. You've been very
10:35
helpful. I'm just sorry I couldn't do more. You've helped me a great
10:39
deal, a great deal more than you know. What's the gag, Nick,
10:54
You didn't come to the jail just to play cards with me? Oh
10:58
yes, I did, Denny? Do your hands? Okay, you know
11:01
how to play Pogernondo. Sure, but I ain't got no money. I'm
11:05
playing for higher stakes than money. Wait, huh, never mind picking up
11:11
your cards. I have you beaten? How do you know? We ain't
11:16
looked at the hands yet. I have three aces and you're holding a pair
11:18
of sixes. You're a mind reader or something. Run them over and see?
11:24
Well? Hey, what is this? You're stacking the cards on me?
11:30
No? I was reading the becks of the cards. Then mark deck?
11:35
So what see this card? Yeah? Five of clubs, isn't it?
11:39
Yeah? Hey, show me those marks, will you? In a
11:41
minute. This is a ton of diamonds right right, and the seven of
11:46
spades, the Queen of hearts. Wait a minute. That Queen of Hearts
11:52
got a beard? Has it? Pete Kobek put that beard on there.
11:56
I've seen him do it. Oh so you played with deck before? You
12:01
bet? I played with them before. Where'd you get them cards? Don't
12:03
you know who gave me? You? Come on? Quit holding out on
12:05
me. You're holding out on me, aren't you? Danny? Yeah?
12:11
I guess I have been. I guess I've been a sucker. Ain't I
12:16
taking the wrap for somebody? Who? What? Denny? Listen? Nick?
12:20
Did you mean that about going my bail if I helped you crack this
12:24
case? Danny, the minute you tell me who's behind these car Festu're on
12:26
your way out of here. Oh no, get me out first, then
12:28
i'll talk all right. May take me a couple of hours to make the
12:31
arrangements, and I have to see a client at eight. But if I
12:33
can't be here, I'll send Scubby to bring it to my office. That's
12:37
okay, And don't worry about your case, mister Carter. I'll crack it
12:39
for you, good boy, brother, I'll crack it wide open. That's
12:54
Nick's house over there, Danny, okay, he bet a talk on this
12:56
Side's gotta be nicked cars in front of the house. Sure, be here
13:00
a few minutes. Anyway, got to meet a guy for an interview pretty
13:03
soon. Oh come on, Nix's waiting for it. Gee, I feel
13:05
like some mayor or something with two of you bringing me here. Well,
13:09
Nick didn't want to take any chance on me running out. No and anything
13:13
happening to you. Where are your bodyguards? But good guiding make for him?
13:18
What nobody even knows Nick? From me? Maybe not, but I
13:20
still think that Green Todan was following us that green today must have been your
13:26
imagination, Patsy. Either that or we lost him in the last block or
13:28
two, I hope. So we're here, Nick. Oh, hello,
13:33
everything all right? Yeah? Hi Nick, everything's fine. You bring the
13:35
reports on the other car thefts passion. Oh, Nick, I'm sorry I
13:39
left him in the car. Oh, I'll get him for you. Miss
13:41
Bowen won't take it, an, let's come to it. He ran into
13:50
him on purpose. Come on, it was that green Todan I saw following
13:52
us before coming head off any traffic? Sure? Nick, good Nnynny,
14:00
put my coat onto your head. Denny, can you hear me? It's
14:03
Nick? Nick, it was him, Nick, I know, don't try
14:11
to talk. Got to got to tell you about both cars, all right,
14:20
Son? What about him? Hi? What I what do you mean?
14:24
Danny? Look for the hi in the ow ow h Denny? Oh,
14:37
the poor kiddies fainted. No, skebby, he's dead. Oo the
14:50
eye in the l Can Danny's dying words be the clue that will lead Nick
14:56
to the head of the car thieves and Danny's killer. We'll see what happens
15:00
in just a moment. All back to the case of the bearded Queen.
15:07
Today's Inventor with Nick Carter, brought to you by a new post war old
15:11
Dutch Glinter. Back at the office, Nick, Patsy and Scubby are puzzling
15:16
over the connection between the automobile thefts and Danny Walker's dying words look for the
15:22
eye in the L, Nick. The only way I can figure it must
15:26
be some detective on duty around the elevated train. Naturally, Scubby, look
15:30
Brady. I'll ask him confidentially if any l detective has shown sudden prosperities since
15:35
these cars have started. Sureney Toney, we could have got the license number
15:37
back green Sedan. Yes, at least we have the fragments of blasphem that
15:41
shattered headlight that may help us to identify, and the police are checking every
15:45
garage in town for a green Sadan with a broken headlight, linb, I
15:48
felt sure that car was following us, but I didn't see it when we
15:52
got here. Probably parked the car up the street with his lights off and
15:54
his mortar running, just in case, And when Danny started to cross the
15:56
street alone, the murderer saw his chance and took it right. Well.
16:00
The next thing is to find out if any older men said in those card
16:03
games to Danny, do you think the leader of this gang played cards with
16:07
the boy? Not only played cards with him, he cheated. Oh,
16:10
Danny realized it when he saw the bearded queen of hearts and that marked Dick,
16:12
so called debt of honor. He stole Scubby's card to repay with a
16:17
gambling deck. Well, then maybe the same trick was played on some of
16:18
the other boys that might have card for the rest of the stolen cards.
16:22
The way I figure it, after a boy had stolen one card, wouldn't
16:26
be hard to fighten him. It is stealing more by threatening to expose him.
16:29
Well, that's the lowest trick I ever heard of, And I agree
16:30
with you, Scubby. Yes, Well, when we find out who won
16:34
with that mark Dick, I think we'll have the leader of the gang and
16:38
Danny's murderer. That's Fainbridge, you order know, right, Ptsy, And
16:41
that's where we're going, Scubby. As soon as you've talked to sageant Brady
16:45
about the detectives, stown me at the West Pine Street garage. Well,
16:56
there are a couple older fellows. Is sometimes used to play down them,
17:00
Miss Kata, but I Oh go, what's your man? No gas tonight?
17:06
Oh? I didn't hear you drive up in here two or three minutes.
17:10
So busy talking to your friends, you didn't see me. We we're
17:12
talking about Danny Walker. Yeah, nice kid? Who bad? He hadn't
17:18
next you then, wasn't it? How about putting some gas in my can?
17:22
Sure? Go? Sure right away? Answer that, William, Miss
17:25
Kata, Oh, yes, yes, it may be for me anyway,
17:26
I'm expecting to call. Oh, maybe it's for me too, Nick,
17:30
I better come with you if I didn't want to be left alone with Joe.
17:33
Did you see the look on his face and how scared Pops was?
17:37
Yes? Imously, you better stay right. I'm trying to go. Yeah,
17:41
yeah, hello West Pines Prey Garage. Oh yes, covey. Why
17:48
did you find out? Honestly, as far as Sergeant Brady knows, there's
17:52
nothing against any of them to take us around the elevator. Of course,
17:56
there's spend no time for any investigations. But Sergeant Brady thinks we're on the
17:59
wrong tra He may be right. The eye in the air is the only
18:02
thing we have to go on, and I'm going to follow it through.
18:04
Okay, always say, well, he ass Pops if you found my cigarette
18:07
lighter? I had him. We were going down to the basement there.
18:11
Remember when Patsy pointed out that no smoking sign? And I am happy.
18:15
That may be it, That may be what? Never mind you went headquarters?
18:21
Yes what, I'll call you back in fifteen minutes. Give you the
18:22
whole story for your paper. Did he find out anything? Nick? Wasn't
18:29
anything to find out where Pops and Joe they went out to the gas pump?
18:33
Good? I want to take enough to look at that elevator, were
18:34
going down to the clubroom. Not this time. Must have been fine not
18:37
to have seen it before. What an elevator made of steel plates riveted together,
18:42
push button controls and a no smoking sign painted on the wall. What's
18:47
unusual about that? Here's the elevator step in. I'll show you see,
18:52
Patsy. One of those rivets is right in the middle of the eye,
18:56
and no smoking I in the l the letter I and the no smoking sign
19:03
in the elevator. Of course, Danny died before he finished the word.
19:07
But how does this The elevator is run by push button controls, Patsy,
19:11
a button for each floor. Oh no, but there were another floor,
19:15
a secret floor, the control button for it would have to be concealed too,
19:19
and that rivet in the letter, I may be if pushing me.
19:22
Let's find out if I think we're going down to the boys clubroom, think
19:27
you'll find we're going past the clubroom, PERSI, but we can't go past
19:30
the basement. No ever hear of a sub basement. Huh, of course,
19:36
Yes, we're passing the clubroom. There is a secret floor. Maybe
19:40
we're going to discover a lot of secrets. Well, this seems to be
19:47
it. Whatever it is, Gosh, it's stock here. There should be
19:52
a light switch near the elevator. Yes, here it is. I think
19:56
it's another garage plate pen shop and mechanical equipment for working over stolen cars at
20:04
the other end of the room. Agreeing to Dan with a broken head light
20:07
on the fender. All dead. That's the car, all right, the
20:11
one that killed down up used two sciensio. I thought you were came down
20:15
when he was telephoned. I've been standing right the hand. It's still a
20:18
waiting for your baby. You and the boy. I look, Joe,
20:22
Kanna take your run out of your pocket and dump on the floor. Canna
20:26
don't turn around whatever you say, but you're not playing. That's very smart.
20:30
You foot take that pocket just in case you might be packing some heat
20:37
Risot, Have you done something to him? Me? I don't do nothing,
20:41
And nobody it's an accident, because they do have an awful lot of
20:45
accidents, have and run accidents Joe sometimes. But I'll be able to do
20:49
better than that for you two. Something real, neat and natistic. No,
20:53
wait, you don't realize the police. No, we came here,
20:56
so you come here. Then you're left. See, nobody will find this
21:00
seller, and nobody will ever find you. Tell long, Stuckers, I'll
21:06
see you again tomorrow the next day, and when I do, you're gonna
21:10
have one of the neatest little accidents that ever happens. Along Stuckers, I'll
21:15
see you again tomorrow the next day, and when I do, you're gonna
21:18
have one of the neatest little accidents that ever happens. Nay, isn't there
21:27
any way out of here? No? Just this one big, bare room,
21:32
nothing but the pillars that support the building, these workbenchres and garage equipment,
21:37
and the elevator shaft at the other end. It's like being carried alive.
21:42
I almost wish he had shot us. Let's see, I'm going to
21:45
make Joe wish he had shot us. What I'm going to make him?
21:49
Come right to do it right now? Why are you taking off the shoes?
21:55
I may want to walk quietly before I'm through. Hand me that monkey
21:57
went there. That won't be any good against the gun. Needs better than
22:00
nothing. Let me have it. Okay, you get inside that green Todain.
22:04
Lie down on the floor. You'll be as safe from bullets there as
22:07
any place, all right. The switchbox on the wall contains the main electrical
22:11
switches to the entire building, one for the lights and one for power.
22:15
We've got to keep the garage going upstairs as a blind, but it can't
22:18
operate without lights, so we cut the lights. I will. I'll be
22:26
behind this pillar next to the switchbox. Joe will have to get those lights
22:30
on again and quick, and you'll have to pass me in the dark to
22:33
do it. I left the power switch on so the elevator still runs.
22:37
He's coming on, I'm afraid. Don't worry. It'll be over in a
22:45
minute, one way or the other. Nick and Patsy wait densely in the
22:57
darkness, unarmed as the elevator descends bearing a killer with a gun in his
23:02
hand and murder in his heart. We'll see what happens in just a moment.
23:11
Now for the conclusion of the case of the Bearded Queen. Today's Nick
23:17
Carter Adventure brought to you by a new bolt war old Dutch gleanser. Trapped
23:22
in the thought in the dark sub basement of the West Pine Speak garage,
23:26
Nick, armed only with a monkey wrench, waits behind a concrete pillar near
23:30
the light switches for a killer across the room. The elevator comes to a
23:34
stomp. The beam of a flashlight cuts the pitch blackness. In a voice
23:37
says every Clara to turn off those lights. Mister Carter, clever but fatal.
23:45
You'll leave us no choice but to dispose of you and miss Bowen.
23:48
Now come along with a flash night Crops will turn the switch on again.
23:53
That's the fast Joe God. It probably intends to ambush it, even if
23:56
he doesn't have a gun. I'll say the elevator and keep the flashlight on
24:00
you just in cake, good idea. When the lights is on, we
24:03
can finish them off nice and easy. I'll get this switch in. Remember
24:07
I have a gun, Mistericarda said, don't think what happened to the flashlights?
24:14
Had to come to drop it the right way yard, Joe. Okay,
24:17
card is a very accurate of throwing a wrench. The flashlight's broken.
24:21
You know where I am, Joe, So you hear a sound in any
24:22
other part of the room, shoot, don't worry, I will Where did
24:30
you get him? Joe couldn't have missed that range, buffs. I don't
24:33
know whether it was him or her. It wasn't either. You go here,
24:37
help me, Joe, Joe. You all right? Joe? Hello,
24:45
Jasamine that those gun on your back field? He doesn't have any more
24:49
your sports. You better drop the one you're holding. Yeah yeah, Oh,
24:53
will all right, Patsy find that light switch. We're taking these two
24:59
crooks to a head quarters. Straight ahead on the street, Scubby, you
25:14
can't miss the sign out front the west Side Boys Club Grand opening tonight.
25:18
Okay, I'll say, Nick, when he jumped on Joe Ferner in the
25:22
dark, how'd you know exactly where he was by the flash of his gun
25:25
when he fired at something across the room. Oh, I still don't know
25:29
what he was shooting at I do huh. When I heard Bambers tell Joe
25:33
to fire at any sound, I threw my shoe out of the window of
25:37
the car I was hiding it, and sure enough he shot at it.
25:41
Good for you, Patsy, very clever. He distracted Joe's attention just long
25:45
enough for me to jump in. Great stuff, Patsy, will you marry
25:48
me? Oh Scuby please? Oh okay, beautiful. And then after I
25:52
had Joe's gun, it was easy to find Bainbridge in the dark. He
25:56
kept calling to Joe, so all I had to do was to follow the
25:57
sound of his voice. Uh huh, this is it, Nick, the
26:02
new West Side Boys Club. Just look at the crowd. You have your
26:06
seat in my pocket. Good. You know I'm prouder of being asked to
26:10
speak at the opening here tonight that I would be if I were asked to
26:12
address hunger. I guess the other boys who were mixed up with Bainbridge infernal
26:17
d here Well, thanks well, cursecubby. Nick got the more suspended sentences
26:21
because of the trickery used to make them seal those cars, And thanks to
26:23
clubs like this, those boys will now have a chance to grow up right
26:29
Hey, Patsy, you know what what, Scubby? I just realized,
26:33
now that you've written in my new Car, maybe you'll change your mind about
26:37
marrying me. Well, Scubby, I'll I must admit on and love with
26:42
me. No, darling your car. Nick Carter Master Detective is presented each
27:04
week at this time and over these same stations by the Cuddy Heat Packing Company,
27:08
makers of new post war old Dutch Glenser Detective, produced and directed by
27:22
Jock McGregor, is copyrighted by Streeven Smith's Publications Incorporated. Mon Clark is starred
27:30
as Nick, with Charlotte Manson featured as Patsy. Scubby is played by John
27:34
Kane. Today's script was written by Jim Parsons. Original music is played by
27:40
George Wright. This program is fictional and any resemblance to actual persons living or
27:45
dead is purely coincidental. This is Bob Marsha saying when Bennett's count use new
27:52
post war old Dutch Clemson, welcome back. First of all, what a
28:00
great concluding scene, great suspense, great tension, and I love the twist
28:07
with Patsy. This was a case where we heard Nick's plan before the break,
28:11
but when we got back things did not exactly go according to Hoyle,
28:15
but it still worked out in the end. I will say that the effect
28:19
of having so many lost episodes is the relatively rare event of a member of
28:25
Nick's Boyce club getting into trouble seems like less of a rare event than it
28:30
actually is, because, yeah, I remember another case a few weeks ago,
28:34
but that was probably close to a year back in recording time for the
28:40
show. And again you do see that focus on juvenile delinquency, which continued
28:45
to be a big thing in the post war era, because the great fear
28:48
of that era domestically is that you'd see a rise of delinquency in crimes such
28:56
as occurred during the Roaring twenties. All right, Well, now turned to
29:00
listener comments and feedback, and we have a review of the app on iTunes
29:08
pook four to eleven under the title heading where's the six star rights? I'll
29:15
use this daily. Adam does an amazing job catching up with great radio programs.
29:21
Just adds to my day. Highly recommended. Well, the podcast is
29:23
available. This supports the host work and is far easier in my opinion.
29:29
Well, thanks so much, and I would add the app does actually have
29:33
extra episodes where we take a look at bonus episodes. Plus you've got a
29:40
greater access to archive on the app, so that's another benefit of it.
29:44
Well, that will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with
29:48
yours truly Johnny Doller, and next week join us for another adventure with Nick
29:52
Carter. Oh wait, before we go, the episodes that are missing,
29:57
I should mention the case of the Dead Camera, the case of the Lost
30:03
Symphony, the case of the Silver Spots, the case of the Frightened Camper,
30:07
the case of the Murdered Mummy, and the case of the Precious Pebbles.
30:11
So wow, quite a few missing all right. Well, as I
30:14
said, we'll see tomorrow for Johnny Dollar next Thursday for Nick Carter from Boise,
30:18
Idaho. This is your host, Adam Grahamson and off
