4:08
do you think is going on? Nick? I can't tell you, but

But I'm shelling out for the bum eggs I saw this morning. I beg

5:35
Yeah, but we're white. Sure we get you with these years, Say
5:39
Nick, what I couldn't buy any eggs. Let's get away from the store
5:42
window. I want to go around, take a looking back of the store.
5:46
What this is all about? Me? Looks like the phony set up?
5:47
As he Oh, I'm sure the man in there isn't Bleaker, I
5:50
said, I miss my guess, he said, crooked posing as Biaker.
5:53
What makes you think you would first place the way he talked? Second place?
5:56
For the money he offered me. Oh, I got a quick look,
5:58
but that five dollar billy off me. Look, poner, is this
6:00
a countered in case? Of course, I'll explain it in a few minutes.
6:03
Right now, I want to see what's happened to the real Bleaker.
6:08
Let's see, regular said back La. Right's behind the store and here's the
6:13
cellar entrance to the store. Think you better duck down for the cellar.
6:15
Knock around, get that door up water right, Nick, that'sy. Take
6:18
a look at the garage, just to play saved right away. This is
6:21
a heavy door. Nick, right up, give your hand, yes,
6:25
come here quick found in the garage. Holy smash it man, I'll tied
6:31
up in gag be bleaker, He'll we get these works off ward shot,
6:34
take off the gag. God, I don't think he's breathing. Maybe he's
6:39
did No no, I still thank Heaven, Nick, quicker Wader, try
6:44
artificial respiration. One chance in a thousand, we can save him, all
6:46
right, Nick, that'sten patsy spot. Yeah, call him for an ambulance
6:50
and full motor at once to give this man a chance. But when an
6:54
ambulance arrives, the crook inside the store is gonna catch on. You've gotta
6:57
help me. Take off your head, comb your hair and bangs, make
7:00
your face up heavily with funny of lipstick. These guys myself are tough.
7:02
In other words, right, that thug in there hasn't seen you yet,
7:06
so you can get away with it. Go into the store and get him
7:09
out of there, get him up by hook or cook and stay with him.
7:12
Oh trust me, Nick, I'll do it if I have to sing
7:14
towards song. Now, look, Nick, I'm pretty sore about this.
7:28
What's the idea letting that mug in the grocery store get away? I didn't
7:30
let him marry Patsy took him away. You realize that we can't bring Bleaker
7:34
two. It's a murder raft more than just a murder rap. Matty are
7:38
they doing with the pomotor? Nick? What's all this about poisoned eggs?
7:43
Very simple? Chickens are funny birds. What they eat goes into the eggs.
7:46
They lay lisense. If a chicken eats mothballs, it takes smell of
7:49
camphor. No kidding back. Somewhere in the country, there are some chickens
7:54
that have been drinking water polluted with nitroglycerin. What's that the eggs world had
7:58
for breakfast? A tracers have nitroglycerin in them, so might have been an
8:01
accident. When I found an obvious thug posing as a grocer aund the store
8:05
where the eggs are bought, I knew it was something else Somewhere. Maddie
8:09
up in the farming country. There's a crooked plant manufacturing supplies for criminals,
8:13
boot like nitro glitcering for blasting safes, coniferent money, probably everything that a
8:16
crook can't buy legitimately holy smoked. And these polluted eggs are the giveaway to
8:20
the play. Right, some of the night room must have seeped out accidentally
8:24
and polluted the water and a brook or something that runs through a chicken farm
8:26
nearby. Well, I'll be done. That's why I had to hold on
8:28
of that pug without tipping my hand. He's got to lead us to that
8:31
place. What the pomotor stopping format it? Why the job is done?
8:35
Nick? Hi? That man was practically dead when we found him. But
8:37
he's alive. Now you saved all the good good world. Can I question
8:41
him? Oh? Not down for two or three days? The duck says
8:43
he is going to be tough enough, just keeping him alay two or three
8:46
dick. By that time, this whole nob maybe a thousand miles away.
8:50
That's all up to Patsy. Now all we can do is go back to
8:52
the office and wait for her to check in. Hey, Eddie, yeah,
9:09
close that door, will you? I can't hear myself saying you're funny,
9:13
babe. Okay, when you invite a lady eat in a private dining
9:20
room, she likes to be private. I never knew, old man blink
9:24
I had a good looking daughter like you. What a break for me?
9:26
You coming into the store looking for him? Come your mind in the store
9:31
for him. He didn't say he was going nowhere. He got a rush
9:35
call. Had to see somebody about some garage business. H it's gonna be
9:39
plenty. So when he hears I closed up the place to go eat lunch
9:41
with his knockout door eddie. Ain't that way ever gonna bring you some food.
9:48
I'll go call him. I'll get that punk moving. Okay, babe,
9:56
important garage business. That's a good one. Thank you already. Brave.
10:03
Hello, Tyler Janet, I thought you the girl you brough it.
10:07
No, she's outside phoning Tyler Bible, get your ten. She's calling a
10:13
guy named Nick Carter. Yeah, Tyler, Nick Carter, a man who
10:16
came into Bleak a steward to buy eggs this morning when I was posing as
10:20
a health inspector. And that pretty face you're making up who belongs to Patsy
10:24
Bowen Carter's secretary. I know it all the time, Janet, you're a
10:28
liar. Oh, don't worry about it, brabe, I'll take care of
10:31
it for me. You won't. You're quitting the gang, Tyler, You're
10:35
too dangerous to keep around. So long, Tyler Eddie. Tyler spawls over
10:48
the table, two bullets in his heart as Janet Steeles slips out of the
10:52
private dining room. With Tyler dead, Nick's only lead in the case ends.
10:56
We learn what he does next in just a moment, and all back
11:05
to the case of the Chemical Chicken in today's adventure with Nick Carter, brought
11:09
you by all Dutch cleanser. As we pick up our story, Nick Carter
11:13
and Waldo have pulled up to the cafe and answer to Patsy's urgent telephone call.
11:18
Nay, nay, Yes, what is it? Nick? Make it's
11:24
too late. I've lost Tayler for good. He got away when you were
11:28
phoning me. No, someone killed him? Or where is he? Enough
11:31
from the bathroom, scrawled over the table. I went back and there he
11:35
was. All right, Patsy, this is a tough break that will manage.
11:37
You got the can't wait? Come on me, right that must be
11:50
the room, dear Nick. Right, come on, if you're back to
11:56
the door, no one comes in, right, boy? Chance might have
12:03
something his pockets noah, no wallet, no papers, nothing. Then there
12:16
was technique. Not quite. There's one chance, his pockets and his pants
12:20
cuffs. What do you rip in his pockets out for me? Can?
12:24
You'll find out later? Now this is what we do. You telephone many,
12:30
tell him about this murder and join me at the lamb. Okay,
12:33
that's He goes to Bleeker store to check the crates the tainted eggs were delivered
12:37
in. Those crates are usually stenciled with the address of the farm that delivered
12:41
them. Yeah, but if hats he can find that address, it may
12:43
tell us where Eddie Tyler came from. Oh she can't. We'll have to
12:48
depend on his pockets and the cuffs of his pants. All right, hold
13:01
that pocket, steady world, Yeah, yeah, I want to be sure
13:03
this vacuum cleaner picks up every particle of dirt and grit that's in us.
13:07
This was clean? No, Nick, all right, give me the cup
13:11
of the pants clean them out too. Look I don't get it, Nick,
13:16
all the steady m all right, that's clean. Yeah, the other
13:20
one. Okay, that's careful, that's sin all right, Opheny. Yeah.
13:31
Oh, we open the pacuum cleaner and we have one porcelain trapped filled
13:39
with a sordid dust dust, and this dust is going under the microscope right
13:43
now. I want to tell us where Ddy Tyler's been during the past few
13:46
weeks. How the devil can dust do that? Nick? Use your head,
13:50
world, Yeah, put this dust in the air everywhere. That's not
13:52
all the same kind of dust, on particular kinds of dust and particular localities.
13:56
And that's what I'm counting on. You found anything yet, Nick,
14:09
I think so, Patsy. No, it's the law going good and sore
14:13
too, if you want to know, ky n Eddie talimany. Nick,
14:16
this is a fine mess. You let Tyler get away so you can break
14:18
the case and he ends up a corpse. Oh when the commissioner hears about
14:22
this tomorrow morning, the case will be ended by tomorrow morning. Are you
14:26
kidding? No? Hoping. I've been checking the dust from Tiler's pockets.
14:31
Outside of ordinary dust found almost everywhere, I've found smelter dust, flower dust,
14:35
and particles of dry hay, all in the deepest layers. That means
14:37
Tyler's been living in a farming vicinity that also has an iron foundry and flour
14:41
mil somewhere near Give me that industryal map border right neck Carters speaking Tick,
14:46

14:50
Nick, Every egg crate and a place has been destroyed. Not one
14:52
left anywhere. Yeah. Wait a minute, Yeah, this must be Nick.
14:58
What on earth are you talking about. I've been checking my industrial map
15:00
while you were reporting. Passy. Oh, Maddie. There's only one town
15:03
in any of a s cinnity that's a farming center right at the same time
15:05
has a flour mill and an iron foundry. That's Brickton. Brickton. That
15:07
must be the place Tyler came from. I don't understand, Nick. Oh
15:11
you were pretty soon hurry back to the office, Passey, you world one.
15:13
I are driving up to Brickton right away. Brick and a half mile.
15:28
That's what the sign said. I remember, we stay under cover in
15:31
this town. That's a sheriff in here that hates the very side of me.
15:33
Hey, did you have a run in with him before, Nick?
15:35
Yeah, in the Joplin case last year. But it was a run in
15:39
with her a lady heriff like in Texas a trucker in Texas. Sheriff must
15:46
stick me is convinced I double crossed here last year. She will do everything
15:48
she can to that struck me. Now, so we stay under cover.
15:50
All right. Now, Look, when we get into Brickton, you and
15:54
Waldo each rent a car. Yeah. I've divided Brickton into three areas.
15:56
Each one of us covers one of the areas. Here's the town, Nick,
16:00
How each of us visits every farm in our area and ask the farm
16:03
owners if they deliver eggs to Bleeker in New York. Yeah, but wait,
16:07
some of them farmers might not answer. Nick. I'll here are two
16:10
one hundred dollar bills. You and Patsy each take one. Uh. You
16:14
meet a close mouth farmer, tell him this hundred dollar bill was found in
16:17
the cradle of eggs delivered to Bleeker. He can collect if he has records
16:19
proving deliveries of yesterday. Well, that ought to work. Slow Downick was
16:23
passing a rent a car garage run by the terrible mass Stickney. All right,
16:30
go ahead, each of you runt a car and we'll meet back here.
16:33
Six o'clock to night. Good luck, Will, Will Will. This
16:48
is fire number three for Detective Waldo mglinn to examine with his Pierce snie Hey
16:55
Wilson's farm. Maybe we'll have a better luck for this one here. Ah,
17:02
it's a farmer, it's a farmer. Red time going to be Christian?
17:06
Very pretty too. In just a minuteary, young lady, how would
17:11
you like to earn one hundred days? He's the health inspector. Well,
17:18
I've seen you before, haven't I? And Blaker's grocery this morning? Where,
17:21
ma'am, you're the famous Waldome mc glenn, aren't you Nick Carter's great
17:26
assistant. You got the right man, ma'am. But it's a secret.
17:30
Nobody's supposed to know that me and Nick is up here. Mister McGlenn.
17:33
I'm certainly glad it's see you. It's about those eggs, the bad eggs.
17:37
Oh you've pound them then, yes, they're here on this farm.
17:41
I need your help, mister McGlenn. I'm only a weak woman, and
17:45
you world over Glynn's the right man for you, ma'am. Where are them
17:51
bad eggs? There's a building back of this farm up this road a little
17:53
I'll show you good. Does mister Carter know you're here, No, ma'am,
17:57
Waldome mc glenn works. Now what's to day out here? Ma'am?
18:02
You see that house there right along the chicken yard. Yep, there's some
18:06
men lived there. They rented it from Wilson. They pretend to be scientists
18:10
doing research, but they know I know they're crooks, ma'am, and making
18:12
dynamite and burglar tours for more crooks. Well, in some way, the
18:17
nitro glysser in their making got into the chickens drinking water and tainted the egg
18:21
I've already deduced that beha. So this morning, when the eggs were delivered
18:25
to Bleakers Grocery in New York, Bleaker called farmer Wilson on the telephone and
18:29
complained. And Wilson asked the crooks about it, because he thought they were
18:33
scientists. He couldn't understand it, huh huh. And the crooks realized that
18:37
the tainted egg might lead the police up here to their factory. So when
18:41
they learned that all the eggs in this particular shipment went to Bleakers, they
18:45
rushed down to the city and tried to cover up by closing Bleaker's mouth and
18:48
paying off all the customers who came back to the grocery to complain. They
18:52
even had a woman posed as a house inspector to make it look legitimate.
18:56
Put them you come into the house, mister McGlenn. Crooks aren't here now,
19:00
heybod ma'am you you are the health inspector, mister McGlenn. I was
19:06
alright, Jennet. Who's the character with the world is finach nosey little man
19:10
works for Nick Cotton tent still McGlenn, and don't reach for that rotter.
19:12
I'll blow your wide open your goods with him. Shut up, bendall,
19:17
eh cut is in town. You have to drop everything and take care of
19:19
him. You'll never harm Nick Carton and Grandpa. Then'll tell the boys to
19:23
get ready. You can tie up this character. In the meantime. Oh,
19:27
I forgot to tell you. I have to kill Eddie Towler in town.
19:32
It turned out to be a newsome. What time is it, bessy
19:44
six thirty? Nick were in places? Is Walter should have been here at
19:48
six? Maybe he located the farm. It's probably there now blasting away without
19:52
forty four of you guns of bigger menace for Walden than the underworld. You
20:00
well, that's that health inspector from the New York cheffs Diickney. The most
20:03
amazing thing just happened to me. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought Sheriff
20:07
Sickney was in this car. You want help, I'll be glad to give
20:08
it to you. I'm Nick Carter, Not see Nick Carter. Well,
20:12
I'm Janet Steel, a health inspector from New York. I was up here
20:15
investigating a ship in a bad egg. What did you say? Just happened
20:18
to you, miss Steele. It's the strangest thing. I found a car
20:22
parked out on the road. It's one of the sheriff's Sidney Ranson. And
20:25
guess what was stuck in the windshields? Half of a hundred yard bill?
20:29
And what road where? Just outside Wilson's farm. It was near a large
20:33
white building alongside the chicken yards. Chicken yards. Nick, that's it,
20:37
Yes, Patsy, come on, let's get out there fast. The heavy
20:45
roadster surge is forwards. Nick and Patsy drive into what is apparently a cleverly
20:48
baited trap. We'll see whether or not the jaws of the trap close on
20:52
them in just a moment and awful the conclusion of the case. So the
21:00
chemical chickens. In today's Nick Carter Adventure, rob you by all Dutch Flenser
21:04
get seven o'clock. The night is pitch black. Alongside the white house,
21:07
behind farmer Wilson's chicken yard, five men and a woman wait tensely, watching
21:11
the turnpike road. You ought to be along any minute, then you.
21:18
I took the shortcut. It couldn't be more than five minutes behind me along.
21:22
This is what we do, Bindle. When he comes Wolfson in looking
21:25
for Grandpa, we knock him and the girl cold. We take to three
21:29
of them over to the covered bridge and drive them in the car into the
21:30
river. Big accident car with Carter. I know that car, Get said,
21:38
everybody. When I give the word, give them the lights and show
21:41
them they're covered. Looks like Carter and the girl. All right, Bindle,

22:12
The only accident I'm going to have it to pull the trigger this time,

phony when she tried to trap you and miss Bowen, Well, she has
23:11
taken me three things before I came out here. I checked up and couldn't
23:14
find any record of an inspector on the Health Department staff named Janet Steele.
23:18
That was the first thing. Then. I didn't like the idea of a
23:19
health inspector working up here in Britain. It's not a prony. She wouldn't
23:23
have any jurisdiction up here. She sure wouldn't have to slipped the jailed.
23:26
Everything for me was when she claimed to recognize Waldo's car as one of the
23:30
cars that you rented for a stranger in Brickton. It was obviously impossible for
23:34
her to know that, so I pretended to fall into the trap. And
23:37
that's all. Ah, You've done it in great style, Nick bye,
23:41
when you showed up on that roof with a tummy gun in your hands,
23:44
us old Simon Carter all over again. None of that fancy deduction stuff,
23:49
No sirr of bullets and action, Nick kay Kwaldo mcglenn's word for it.
23:53
You will be a detective Yet, well, Nick, what about the adventure
24:07
old Dutch cleanser will bring us next week? Before I answer that, Bob,
24:10
I wish to remind our listeners that National Boys Club Week begins tomorrow and
24:15
as you know, sponsoring a boy's club on my own. I'm particularly interested
24:18
in this fine work which is combating juvenile delinquency so effectively. More than a
24:22
quarter of a million boys find wholesome activity and entertainment in these clubs. Under
24:27
competent leadership. They receive companionship and recreation and learn to develop skills and ambitions.
24:34
According to law enforcement authorities, boys clubs lesson delinquency wherever they're established.
24:40
For these reasons, I personally, as well as the makers of old Dutch
24:42
cleanser, wish to salute the Boys Clubs of America for their great contribution in
24:48
building the citizens of tomorrow. And now next week's adventures. Oh, it
24:52
scares me just to remember that case. If it scarce you, it must
24:56
be some story. What's it all about? While Barber started with a miss,
25:00
serious disappearance of a lot of new cars that were never found again,
25:02
and just about finished when Nick and I ended up in an old, abandoned
25:06
quarry full of water, but thanks to a new shortwave device we managed to
25:10
solve the case. I certainly want to hear this story. What do you
25:11
call it, Nick? I call it the Case of the Lucrative Rex.
25:21
Nick Carter, master Detective is presented each week at this time and over these
25:25
same stations by the Cutting Heat Packing Company, makers of Old Dutch cleanser.
25:30
Remember when you go shopping tomorrow, Yet the cleanser preferred by more women in
25:33
America than any other Old Dutch cleanser. Nick Carter Master Detective, produced and
25:49
directed by Jock McGregor, is copyrighted by Street and Smith Publications, Incorporated.
25:55
Lon Clark is starred as Nick, with Charlotte Manson featured as Pathy. Wall
26:00
is played by Humphrey Davis, Matty by Ed Latimer Today. Script was written
26:03
by Alfred Bester. Original music is played by George Wright. This program is
26:08
fictional and any resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This
26:15
is Bob Martin saying, when minutes count, use Old Dutch glintre welcome band
26:26
a great book history. This is the virtual broadcasting CAGs. Pretty ingenious and
26:36
a puzzle that couldn't help but engage Nick Harter. I have to my myself
26:41
that I actually believe the fake chicken or egg inspector for a moment, not
26:48
when they got up to up State, but when they were at the store.
26:52
Of course, how Nick was able to realize the truth by utilizing common
26:57
sense in the rural area makes Waldo actually look bad. Not so much,
27:03
Nick Carter look like a genius. You figured an a inspector in New York
27:08
City wouldn't have jurisdiction year that's genius. No, not really, but at
27:15
any rate, the case is solved. I should mention the two missing episodes
27:19
that we have between the last week's show and this week's and those were the
27:23
case of the Smuggled Perfume and the case of the Max Fingers. So those
27:30
were the lost episodes. And like I said, in the late forties,
27:34
we tend to actually have more of these than we did during the war years,
27:40
which is odd for radio programs. And now very quick listener comment and
27:45
feedback and Paul comments over on the Facebook page. I was listening to the
27:52
Big Finish podcast yesterday and I do believe I heard them read a letter from
27:56
Adam Graham and Boise Idaho. It was a case when podcast worlds collide for
28:02
me. Very funny. Well thanks so much, Paul. That email was
28:06
actually to me. I've referenced Big Finish on the Great Detectives of Old Time
28:11
Radio website. The main thing they do in the way of Mysteries is their
28:17
Sherlock Holmes presentation. They're best known for their Doctor Who radio plays based on
28:23
the classic TV series. And it was a nice thrill to have the letter
28:29
read on the air by Nicholas Briggs. And if you heard the letter on
28:33
there from me, Yeah, it was from me, not another Adam Graham,
28:37
which is good because it can be problematic if there are too many of
28:41
us running around. All right, Well, that will do it for today.
28:45
We'll be back tomorrow with yours truly Johnny Dollar, and then join us
28:48
back here again next Thursday for another episode of Nick Carter. In the meantime,
