Every week.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
At that time, two great names are joined as new
post war old Dutch Cleanser brings you one of the
most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fictions, Nick Carter,
Master detective. What's the reason for the water sweeping under
that bathroom door? Mister and Idel? But I don't know,
(00:36):
mister Carton, and I better find out, Great Scott. It
looks like a Johnstown plan heaven, how look you work? Yes,
the girl in the calf and she's been weighted down
with a suitcase. And now the case of the candidate's court.
(00:58):
Today's adventure starring Lone Clark as Nick Carter, brought to
you my new post war old Dutch Cleanser. Although it
is only two o'clock in the morning, Nick Carter has
a prospective client in his office, a client whose pompous
dignity is a bit startling. So I am the honorable
go to Nigel. Oh, yes, yes, you're a politician, aren't you,
mister Nigel. I'm mister Carter, am a public servant statesman
(01:21):
would be an actor term than politician. How won't you
sit down, mister Nigel. Oh, thank you, mister Carter. I
want you to protect me, protect you from what I'm
scheduled to be the speaker of the day at a
stupendous political value this afternoon in Springville. Let's stop twenty
miles from here.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I heard about that it's going to be an all
day celebration. There'll be a carnival and barbecue fireworks.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yes, indeed, and my address is to be the feature
at end of the day. About fifty thousand constituents are
expected to hear men. And you want me to protect
you from them? Certainly not. It's Carter. There's a proper
foot the honorable. Let me squire. My opponent is tied
up with the gangster element, and they'll stop at nothing
(02:04):
to discredit me. Why are they threatened to do well?
They wouldn't there threaten me. My information comes from a
roundabout soul information regarding what, mister Nigel, you're telling me
practically nothing. All I know is that something's up up,
and that's not any more definite. You will have to
trust my judgment that you needed mister Kato, and I'll
pay you five thousand dollars to keep me from being
discredited at this rally. Now, thank you, mister Nigel. If
(02:26):
you give me the host time, maybe I can help
to put And then you refuse to take my case,
that's entirely up to you. I regret your decision. I
thought I could count on you to help me. If
you change your mind, my office will open good day.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Honestly, all the pampas ow funny daddy.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
This pampas not pay, but it's obvious he expects to
be deflated. The man's really frightened about something. I wonder
why you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Don't think anybody tried to hurt him physically?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Do you know? I can't think of a better spot
for us called duggery than one of those old fashioned
political rallies wos, crowds, excitement, noise and know pers. He's
just out of curiosity. We're going to Springvale. Is this a.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Political rally or a country sayer?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And it's supposed to be a political rally. Look, don't
even have a side show, yes with an Oriental dancer
who certainly could draw the crown even if the annimal
mister Nigel doesn't. Oh, he must be some politician.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
If he has to resort to show he's like this
to get folks.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
To listen to him. Yeah, take him on this. Gather
up close to gentlemen. On the inside of this test
you will see Rosa, that saky little Oriental dancer doing
a famous glance flight dance. It's a sensation, gentlemen, Miss Terry,
It's delightful. Okay? Is he to go on inside?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Gentlement, step right up for the take a post. Have
your money ready to please? Question how much? I'm going ahead?
Speaker 3 (03:59):

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I'm going to the hotel to see a guy with
real money?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, bluff yeah, half.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
The honorable Wilton Nigel. If I'm bluffing your cheek his luck.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But you can't do this to me?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
What am I going to give a couple of costumes
to my.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Classing room wife?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I do the dance yourself?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I see? Did you hear what that dancing girl said
about Wilton Nigel. I heard it, but I still don't
believe it. You know, I think I'll go and have
a talk with mister Nigel myself. But I thought you
weren't going to take his case. Oh I might have
known you couldn't bresiz uh huh. Other words, you don't
want to come to the hotel.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Are they I listened to old windbag Nigel.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I should say not.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'll amuse myself here where there's something interesting going on?

Okay, Where'll I find you? When I'm through talking to him,
I'll be somewhere near here.

Oh, if you need Drousia there, give her my regards.
Speaker 1 (05:00):

Wilton Nigel? Oh? You just wait till I get my
hands on that man. Is something wrong? Missus Nigel's wrong?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
There?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Certainly is? You think he and I went to a
political breakfast and yes, I know. When I was here earlier,
the desk player told me he was at that breakfast,
so I went there to see him, but it was
told that he'd already left. He certainly did. When we
were about half two.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I left the table to make a phone call, and
then when.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I got back, he had disappeared. You know where he went? No,
and nobody's the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Seemed to know either, So I waited for him, but
when he didn't come back, I finally returned here alone.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
So you have no idea where your husband might be now? Then?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, but two different bell boys told me that a
woman came up here this morning, a young woman in
a scanty oriental costume, even had a bail over a face.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
A woman who had How long have you been here?
Only a few minutes? Why? And how long ago did
your husband leave the breakfast? About an hour ago?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
More or less?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, dearie is now hell de de Sargeant Mathison, This

knock missus Nigel.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh deah, I can't, oh greatful cut to it looks
like she was a dancer from that outfit she's got on.
Speaker 1 (07:37):

But it's any publicity about this, it can ruin my
whole campaign. Oh yeah, well, you got more in the
campaign to worry about. Now, this is murder. Jeers Carter?
Who and ese could have done a thing like this?
I don't know, mister Nigel. Both you and your wife
(07:57):
had the opportunity to kill this woman's papa.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But you think I have anything to do with a
woman like that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But she's from the carnivals, and mister Cotton, she is,
and I happen to know she left the carnival ground

Cost cut. Mister Nigel, would you have any idea why
your wife fainted? I know that the shock of finding
a dead body in our bathtub. It wouldn't have been
because she didn't want to tell me where she was.
When it's ridiculous. She's at the breakfast with me. She's
there all the time, but you may as well tell me, Nigel.
I can easily find out from those who were there. Yes, well, no,
(08:48):
mister Carter Parkway through the meal, she excused herself to
make a phone call. How long was she gone? It
was a mess e fact. When I left to meet
Sergeant Mathieson, she still hadn't come back. I say, well,
mister Nigel, as soon as we show you a wife's
all right, You and I are going to see whether
we can find out why that girl's buddy is in
your best ub. I'm nice, you're going into this carnival
(09:18):
tide show. I am mygel, but Conner, I can't be
seen at a place like this palace of all the
innal wonders. Don't worry, we aren't going in Thank Heaven.
The mana runs the show can give us the information
I want pardon me, listen, Did.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You have a girl named Rosina working.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
For you earlier today?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Did I?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Why I still got a dead Roseda? The stapy little
Orientle's answer this side of Panama. There'll be a new
show in two minutes, boys, and that I had Harry Hall. Boys,
I'm stand to produced a high class, educational and refined.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And the stay.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And you're sure Rosiea's still here? Why sure? I'm sure
you'll say the little lady and all the Gloria's are something.
The boys give them music a little loie all right, luckkay, lucky, lucky,
lucky man. I'm about to show you the most journal
feminine puff turn you memspin Rozia the famous sorry Addasser
come Ada, Why mister Cotter, isn't that your friend Patty
(10:16):
Patsy Bowen may be able to pass as Rosita the
Oriental Dancer or the satisfaction of the public, but not
for the satisfaction of Nick Carter. We'll find out the
reason for Patty's masquerade in just a moment. Now back
to the case of the Candidate's Corps. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter brought to you by new post war old
(10:38):
Dutch cleanser in the dancer's dressing room. Mattie, who has
rejoined Nick, is eyeing high hat Harry Hall, owner of
the Palace of Oriental Wonders, with plenty of suspicion. Nick
is still indignant at having found Patsy in a carnival
dance act.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Don't be stuffy, Nick, I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Help you, But Patsy, I don't see how sir after
his dance and left.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Mister Hall is kind of clo'es that to show and
leave town. And I thought you wouldn't want to let
him get away, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
All, And you did, right, Patsy. Now, who suppose you
start talking? Why did Rosita leave your shoe? Uh? She
is just the day with ideas. I guess eah, you
didn't owe her any money? Oh the help money? She
said you did. And she also said you had more
money today for the first time since she hadn't known you.
(11:24):
Where'd you get it? A lesson? Smart guys? O, you listen,
the local police have asked me to work with him.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You may not take the cuts on me.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why I'll slugged that long way? You won't, Harry, She's dead,
so again I said she's dead. Her body's in the
morgue right now. I don't believe it. You will, you'll.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Even get a chance to look at it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Meanwhile, I'm going to take a look through Rosy's stuff.
You won't find anything, sergeant, Oh why not touch it?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So that's another reason I took Rosida's place. I want
to see whether there were any letters or anything that
involved with mister Nigel.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well good for you, Patsy. Why did you find nothing?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Just extra costumes make up the thing you expect to find.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh, speaking of costumes, Patty, you better get up to
your street floor that costs? What's that? Don't you think
I'll acuteness that you should do? As a matter of fact, Patty,
it doesn't look well on you at all.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Well I like that?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Why not because the suntan pattern on your back doesn't
mats the lines of the costumes. Oh, the Oriana costumes
cut very differently from your bathing suit around the shoulders. Say,
I guess you're right. I know it's the same thing
on another girl just a short time ago. Look hole,
what's this Rosita's home address? Well, you got me there?
Such how come the hall she worked for? You? Didn't
(12:36):
you have any references on a show like this. You
don't ask for references your sake, whether you can get Maddie. Yeah,
I think we'll give Hall a chance to spend some
time with miss missus. Nigel, what do you mean? I
mean he's going back to the hotel and stay with
them while you and I go to the city. Oh,
for the love of there are.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Labels in the girl's costumes. In the costume, and they
have a record of the sales.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Of course, A good idea, Patty, we can start our
search there. Yeah, but look what if hole here tries
to take a powder while we're going, have one of
the local policemen keep an eye on him. Allians see
that he doesn't get away. That's ane for the last time.
Will you get out of that costume into some decent clothes.
You've got work to do a lot of good. It'll
(13:20):
do us to make this trip lick. We already got
Razida's address and the costume, didn't we Yeah, we already
know we're addressed the more. Yeah. The costumes were sold
to a dance team called the South Sisty.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, and we'll find the address. That'll be a theatrical
boarding house where they won't even remember Rosita are Yeah,
this is the place right here, and it doesn't look
like any cheap theatrical boarding house to me. No, there,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
This is a pretty fair looking apartment building.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
It that way. Oh, let's see see say we're in luck.
Oh yeah, here's the nameplate. See O Rock Sand Caseel
Apartment one. See yeah, okay, pressed the buzzer, small lock matic.
Comebody's homie? Good you Rock San Cassell? Sure?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
What are its?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Just a minute? Your voice? Hey you're Rosita Cassell.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You're wrong there, mister Iron Rock Sand what's up?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Was Rosita your sister?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
We just worked together as a dance team. Then we
had a fight and split up. Last I heard she
was deathing in a cheap little Connie show.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Oh what's he done? Now? She's been murdered. Murdered? Sure?
What was it?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
A man who killed her?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Why do you ask that?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Well, she was running around with a guy before she
left town, a big shot. He got sore at her
and she was afraid of him, scared half to death.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You know the man's name. It was a kind of
funny name, something like a Milder or Wildern. Was it Wilton?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Nigel, Bessy, I always wondered what a guy a name
like that would look like.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Are you going to find out, miss Cassel and try? Yes, Patsy,
I thought I told you nobody was to leave this
hotel room where missus Nigel or mister Hall and they
were the local police, Nick, I'll come well. They wanted
Hall to would.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Entify the body, and they wanted a question Missus Nigela
about leaving that political breakfast before it was over.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Sergeant Mathieson or the police questioning still up because they think.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
She ought mister Nigel.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
This is a murder case.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They'll be questioning you too when they hear.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
What this young.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Lady here has to say?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
What the fuck I don't know her, do I? Miss? No?
But your new Rosita all right?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
And knowing you didn't do her no good either, But
that's prepos.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They brought you all the way off from the CDITA
to accuse me of murder. Nobody accused you of murder, Nigel.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
All I know is what Rosita said about a guy
named Nigel.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Please please, it's still it should come back in here?
What's still here? You?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Why?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
What's happened to your hasse what's happened to my hat? Indeed,
what's happened to me? Missus Nigel's hall? Huh?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Where isn't he When we got out of the car
and from the police taking that man looks wi it
to me against the police and.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Got away, got away, crazy fool. I want to hope
the police don't find him.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
What oh now see here, Maddie.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
If they can't coping and they shoot to kill, you
couldn't blame him either, except that he isn't guilty. He
isn't no and this rock San Cassala is going to
help me prove it for me. I don't get it.
You will. We're going to open his Palace of Oriental
Wonders show with you taking the part of Rosina. No
id be afraid. You needn't be, Maddie, and I'll be there,
and I have a hunch follow show up too. He's
curiosity wanted to stay away, but is he the murderer?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Thinks I'm trying to trap away.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
You'll be protected, Bessie, is the costume? You are still
in the tent dressing room. It should be let's go
then this car. He wants Filler and me to come
to No, No, it's not not to say. Now, Lookick,
a guy like Haul won't pall for that stunt. He's
been around too much. Maybe not Maddie, but it's worth
a trial. Now. Look, he ain't going to be thinking
about the carnival. He'll be trying to get out of
town fast and car. The police will be watching that.
(16:54):
My hunch is he'll head for the freight yards. And
that's where I'm going right now. But it's so hot
in the tent at the dear we have to stay here,
(17:14):
mister Cotton said so, And I suppose we have to
watch that woman do a dad I'm afraid to do,
missus nigroom. She should be about ready. Hatsy's helping her
get into the costume.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Now, I don't see why anybody would need help to
get into a skimpy thing like that.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Whomscotton look coming down the aisle, songs of mathieson and
I lived the hall All wait till.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I get my hands on that man or hring your
back alive?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's me okay, Nick?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Now, who was right? What's the idea? I ain't done
nothing on No Haul? Who paid you to bring your
show to Nigel's political rally? So buddy, the police are
going to search you. Hall. If they find any substantial
summer money, you would be in a spot. What do
you mean. I heard your dancing girls say you hadn't
been able to pay her, but that you had some
money today for the.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
First time in weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Okay, So what if I was paid to bring the
show here? I want to tell it to a lesson
crooked just bringing the show and play here at the rally?
Why look quick, is if somebody wants to give me
a grand with no strength tied to my opponent was
responsible for that. He wanted to make my political rally
look cheap and discredit me. Fine, I'll sing, Oh do

Everybody go ahead. Patty, look Hall, now that you're here,

rox San, But you've been working for Hall under the
name of Rosita. But it was the real Rosita who
was murdered.

How about it all? Is this the girl who worked
for you or not?

the customs. She wore the same customs he's wearing now.
But the girl in the bathtub wasn't Tam that way.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
I don't give you a chance. I would have given
him the same treatment you gave Rosita, the first chance
you got. I've got a.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Treatment for all of you if you try to stop me,
a lead treatment under this veil. I straighted over my
right hand on holding a gun. Name that miss bowen back.
Not if you want me born to live, She's gonna
leave with me, and if any of you try to
follow her, she gets shot. So if you want me
bad enough to have her killed, come right ahead.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Patsy slowly puts her hands up as the dancing girl
reveals a new use for a veil. Nick hesitates as
the two climb down off the platform. We'll see what
happens in just a moment. Now, for the conclusion of
the case of the candidate's corpse. Today's adventure with Nick
Carter brought to you my new post war old Dutch cleanser.
(20:52):
With her veil covered revolver pressed firmly against Patsy's back,
the dancing girl moves towards the rear of the tent.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Keep away from me if you want a live secret,
I messa cotta.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You heard her, so help me out.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Goll up to you. If you don't follow me, She'll
be all right. Toss me a car, Harry, think about it. Okay,
now left up the side wall of the tent store
and lift up the water ten cameras lifted up, we
can get under the tent. Oh okay, there higher you don't,
I can't. That's as high as a girl. I hold
(21:24):
it steady like get on your head.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Don't you.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Got a little.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Canas off?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
All right, Patty, you can relax.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I've got a gun, I got hurt.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Shut up and behave yourself. You all right? I guess
a couple of story knocking over with your foot when
you bent down and get under the tent wall with
half thinking, Patty, remember me to tell you, lady what
it's not good? You are so hard.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
If I haven't been off dollars.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I'd all right, all right, rock San, Why did you
kill Rosita?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Rosita had it coming to it. Why tell me working
in this Connie job on her name? Because she was
working a blackmail racket and wanted an alibi.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is anything went wrong and she could claims she went
out of town with whole show. Yeah, was Rosita planning
to blackmail mister Nigel?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
No game, that's trying to keep him from getting the elected.
Hired her to come up and sneak in his hotel
room while he was off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She's gonna put out a big act about how she
was his girlfriend and all that time.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And when she was through with her act, Nigel would
have had her withdraw from the race, her face and
nasty scandal. That's sister can And if anything went wrong,
Rosita would have taken your place in the show by sure.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
She could approved.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
She was doing a dance act at the time she
was supposed to have been putting on a rack with Nigel. Oh,
I did it pretty clever? Dis grateful? You mean, but
how did you happen to go to the hotel.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Rock Stand, I saw a chance to make myself a
nice hunk of money. If I decided to sell what I.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Knew to Nijell. Only when you got to the hotel,
you found Rosita was already there.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, I guess I was at a double cross when
we got into a fight. I knew I had to
get rid of her, so I hit her over.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
The head with a bookend, and you put her in
the bathtub and turned down the water. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Then I went back to town to see if I
could find where he kept her money.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But you got there too soon. When you got there
in time to save me from being the victim of
a dirty political plot, it almost looks as if I'm
a man of destiny.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Praise the speech for tonight, will t yes money.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
One thing, mister Nigel, when you came to my office,
why wouldn't you tell me where you got the tip
that somebody was starting to ruin your career? Well, it
was an anonymous phone call from a girl.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
It was from me in case I decided to sell
out to you.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And why didn't you tell me that, mister Nigel? And
have still know beautiful young girl had been talking to
me on the phone. Dear me, I'd rather go through
anything than have that happen. Well, Nick, what about the
(23:43):
adventure that new post war old Dutch cleanser will bring
us next week. It's a story about a woman who
writes soap operas, Mike, and does a good job of
it until a murder she writes about actually happens in
real life. And every suspect has a perfect alibi too.
But when the radio actress who plays the part of
the murder victim disappeared, Wait a minute, this is getting
too complicated. I have complicated, Mike, just puzzling for such
(24:04):
a simple murder is almost perfect. In fact, it might
have been completely perfect if I hadn't bluffed. But sounds wonderful. Nick,
what do you call this adventure? I call it the
Case of the Substitute Slayer. Nick Carter Master Detective is
(24:29):
presented each week at this time by the Cutter Heap
Packing Company. It is produced and directed by Joss McGregor

This is Youth Months, and we are happy to join
the salute to young America, upon whom our country's future depends.
But a salute is not enough. We must see that
every American child has the opportunity to become a happy,
youthful citizen. To do this, we must make our homes
our children's homes. We must know their schools, teachers, and playmates.
(25:13):
We must provide the kind of recreation that results in
physical and mental health. So let's make this month significant
by observing its principles the year round, thus assuring our
children of an even better America. This is Michael Fitzmorris saying,

New post war old Dutch Cleanser, famous for chasing dirt,
presents Nick Carter, famous for chasing crime.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Every week.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
At that time, two great names are joined as new
post war old Dutch Cleanser brings you one of the
most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fictions, Nick Carter,
Master detective. What's the reason for the water sweeping under
that bathroom door? Mister and Idel? But I don't know,
(00:36):
mister Carton, and I better find out, Great Scott. It
looks like a Johnstown plan heaven, how look you work? Yes,
the girl in the calf and she's been weighted down
with a suitcase. And now the case of the candidate's court.
(00:58):
Today's adventure starring Lone Clark as Nick Carter, brought to
you my new post war old Dutch Cleanser. Although it
is only two o'clock in the morning, Nick Carter has
a prospective client in his office, a client whose pompous
dignity is a bit startling. So I am the honorable
go to Nigel. Oh, yes, yes, you're a politician, aren't you,
mister Nigel. I'm mister Carter, am a public servant statesman
(01:21):
would be an actor term than politician. How won't you
sit down, mister Nigel. Oh, thank you, mister Carter. I
want you to protect me, protect you from what I'm
scheduled to be the speaker of the day at a
stupendous political value this afternoon in Springville. Let's stop twenty
miles from here.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I heard about that it's going to be an all
day celebration. There'll be a carnival and barbecue fireworks.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yes, indeed, and my address is to be the feature
at end of the day. About fifty thousand constituents are
expected to hear men. And you want me to protect
you from them? Certainly not. It's Carter. There's a proper
foot the honorable. Let me squire. My opponent is tied
up with the gangster element, and they'll stop at nothing
(02:04):
to discredit me. Why are they threatened to do well?
They wouldn't there threaten me. My information comes from a
roundabout soul information regarding what, mister Nigel, you're telling me
practically nothing. All I know is that something's up up,
and that's not any more definite. You will have to
trust my judgment that you needed mister Kato, and I'll
pay you five thousand dollars to keep me from being
discredited at this rally. Now, thank you, mister Nigel. If
(02:26):
you give me the host time, maybe I can help
to put And then you refuse to take my case,
that's entirely up to you. I regret your decision. I
thought I could count on you to help me. If
you change your mind, my office will open good day.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Honestly, all the pampas ow funny daddy.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
This pampas not pay, but it's obvious he expects to
be deflated. The man's really frightened about something. I wonder
why you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Don't think anybody tried to hurt him physically?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Do you know? I can't think of a better spot
for us called duggery than one of those old fashioned
political rallies wos, crowds, excitement, noise and know pers. He's
just out of curiosity. We're going to Springvale. Is this a.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Political rally or a country sayer?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And it's supposed to be a political rally. Look, don't
even have a side show, yes with an Oriental dancer
who certainly could draw the crown even if the annimal
mister Nigel doesn't. Oh, he must be some politician.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
If he has to resort to show he's like this
to get folks.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
To listen to him. Yeah, take him on this. Gather
up close to gentlemen. On the inside of this test
you will see Rosa, that saky little Oriental dancer doing
a famous glance flight dance. It's a sensation, gentlemen, Miss Terry,
It's delightful. Okay? Is he to go on inside?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Gentlement, step right up for the take a post. Have
your money ready to please? Question how much? I'm going ahead?
Speaker 3 (03:59):

You got more do in your pocket today than you
ever had in your life before. I'm tired of being
off sat. I'm leaving, Harry.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What why you would have slept? You silly? Where do
you think you're going?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I'm going to the hotel to see a guy with
real money?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, bluff yeah, half.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
The honorable Wilton Nigel. If I'm bluffing your cheek his luck.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
But you can't do this to me?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
What am I going to give a couple of costumes
to my.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Classing room wife?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I do the dance yourself?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I see? Did you hear what that dancing girl said
about Wilton Nigel. I heard it, but I still don't
believe it. You know, I think I'll go and have
a talk with mister Nigel myself. But I thought you
weren't going to take his case. Oh I might have
known you couldn't bresiz uh huh. Other words, you don't
want to come to the hotel.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Are they I listened to old windbag Nigel.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I should say not.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I'll amuse myself here where there's something interesting going on?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, Where'll I find you? When I'm through talking to him,
I'll be somewhere near here.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Oh, if you need Drousia there, give her my regards.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, come on, come on open that. Yes, is this
mister Wilton Nigel? Sweet? It isn't. Who may I ask you?
I'm Nick Carter. I like to talk to mister Nigel,
so do I. But he isn't here. You know where
he is? If I knew, i'd be there too. Oh
(05:22):
and who if I may ask? Are you? I'm missus
Wilton Nigel? Oh? You just wait till I get my
hands on that man. Is something wrong? Missus Nigel's wrong?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
There?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Certainly is? You think he and I went to a
political breakfast and yes, I know. When I was here earlier,
the desk player told me he was at that breakfast,
so I went there to see him, but it was
told that he'd already left. He certainly did. When we
were about half two.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I left the table to make a phone call, and
then when.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I got back, he had disappeared. You know where he went? No,
and nobody's the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Seemed to know either, So I waited for him, but
when he didn't come back, I finally returned here alone.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
So you have no idea where your husband might be now? Then?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
No, but two different bell boys told me that a
woman came up here this morning, a young woman in
a scanty oriental costume, even had a bail over a face.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
A woman who had How long have you been here?
Only a few minutes? Why? And how long ago did
your husband leave the breakfast? About an hour ago?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
More or less?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh, dearie is now hell de de Sargeant Mathison, This

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Mister Nigel told the chief to turn him down.

I did, But hey, aren't you ontside? You're baila mcmaddie. Well,
it's my day off in mister Nigel's a personal friend
of the chief, and Shoe Mathison volunteered to be my
guest at this great political valley. Mister Carter, Wait a minute,

Speaker 1 (06:46):

Speaker 2 (06:48):
To the top. But I just take a wof for me.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Are you sure neither of you saw a girl in
this hotel sweet this morning?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I'm sure I didn't, but I'm not at all sure
what Wilson now still on?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Hey, hey, hey, what what ald this about? A girl?
There's one here all right and the bottom of the
top Waite it down with a suitcase. Sh a girl

Okay, I will look Nick, what are your figure killers?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That'll be up to the corner. But whatever it was,
it's obviously murdered. Nigel, you'll come here please, all right.
I never seen this girl before, but never loos decidedly
knock missus Nigel.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh deah, I can't, oh greatful cut to it looks
like she was a dancer from that outfit she's got on.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, well, I'll go see the local police chief. Make no.
But it's any publicity about this, it can ruin my
whole campaign. Oh yeah, well, you got more in the
campaign to worry about. Now, this is murder. Jeers Carter?
Who and ese could have done a thing like this?
I don't know, mister Nigel. Both you and your wife
(07:57):
had the opportunity to kill this woman's papa.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But you think I have anything to do with a
woman like that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But she's from the carnivals, and mister Cotton, she is,
and I happen to know she left the carnival ground
plose to two hours ago? Where are you? Then? I

right in a minute, you better get us some water.
Cost cut. Mister Nigel, would you have any idea why
your wife fainted? I know that the shock of finding
a dead body in our bathtub. It wouldn't have been
because she didn't want to tell me where she was.
When it's ridiculous. She's at the breakfast with me. She's
there all the time, but you may as well tell me, Nigel.
I can easily find out from those who were there. Yes, well, no,
(08:48):
mister Carter Parkway through the meal, she excused herself to
make a phone call. How long was she gone? It
was a mess e fact. When I left to meet
Sergeant Mathieson, she still hadn't come back. I say, well,
mister Nigel, as soon as we show you a wife's
all right, You and I are going to see whether
we can find out why that girl's buddy is in
your best ub. I'm nice, you're going into this carnival
(09:18):
tide show. I am mygel, but Conner, I can't be
seen at a place like this palace of all the
innal wonders. Don't worry, we aren't going in Thank Heaven.
The mana runs the show can give us the information
I want pardon me, listen, Did.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You have a girl named Rosina working.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
For you earlier today?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Did I?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Why I still got a dead Roseda? The stapy little
Orientle's answer this side of Panama. There'll be a new
show in two minutes, boys, and that I had Harry Hall. Boys,
I'm stand to produced a high class, educational and refined.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And the stay.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And you're sure Rosiea's still here? Why sure? I'm sure
you'll say the little lady and all the Gloria's are something.
The boys give them music a little loie all right, luckkay, lucky, lucky,
lucky man. I'm about to show you the most journal
feminine puff turn you memspin Rozia the famous sorry Addasser
come Ada, Why mister Cotter, isn't that your friend Patty
(10:16):
Patsy Bowen may be able to pass as Rosita the
Oriental Dancer or the satisfaction of the public, but not
for the satisfaction of Nick Carter. We'll find out the
reason for Patty's masquerade in just a moment. Now back
to the case of the Candidate's Corps. Today's adventure with
Nick Carter brought to you by new post war old
(10:38):
Dutch cleanser in the dancer's dressing room. Mattie, who has
rejoined Nick, is eyeing high hat Harry Hall, owner of
the Palace of Oriental Wonders, with plenty of suspicion. Nick
is still indignant at having found Patsy in a carnival
dance act.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Don't be stuffy, Nick, I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Help you, But Patsy, I don't see how sir after
his dance and left.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Mister Hall is kind of clo'es that to show and
leave town. And I thought you wouldn't want to let
him get away, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
All, And you did, right, Patsy. Now, who suppose you
start talking? Why did Rosita leave your shoe? Uh? She
is just the day with ideas. I guess eah, you
didn't owe her any money? Oh the help money? She
said you did. And she also said you had more
money today for the first time since she hadn't known you.
(11:24):
Where'd you get it? A lesson? Smart guys? O, you listen,
the local police have asked me to work with him.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
You may not take the cuts on me.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why I'll slugged that long way? You won't, Harry, She's dead,
so again I said she's dead. Her body's in the
morgue right now. I don't believe it. You will, you'll.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Even get a chance to look at it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Meanwhile, I'm going to take a look through Rosy's stuff.
You won't find anything, sergeant, Oh why not touch it?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So that's another reason I took Rosida's place. I want
to see whether there were any letters or anything that
involved with mister Nigel.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well good for you, Patsy. Why did you find nothing?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Just extra costumes make up the thing you expect to find.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh, speaking of costumes, Patty, you better get up to
your street floor that costs? What's that? Don't you think
I'll acuteness that you should do? As a matter of fact, Patty,
it doesn't look well on you at all.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Well I like that?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Why not because the suntan pattern on your back doesn't
mats the lines of the costumes. Oh, the Oriana costumes
cut very differently from your bathing suit around the shoulders. Say,
I guess you're right. I know it's the same thing
on another girl just a short time ago. Look hole,
what's this Rosita's home address? Well, you got me there?
Such how come the hall she worked for? You? Didn't
(12:36):
you have any references on a show like this. You
don't ask for references your sake, whether you can get Maddie. Yeah,
I think we'll give Hall a chance to spend some
time with miss missus. Nigel, what do you mean? I
mean he's going back to the hotel and stay with
them while you and I go to the city. Oh,
for the love of there are.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Labels in the girl's costumes. In the costume, and they
have a record of the sales.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Of course, A good idea, Patty, we can start our
search there. Yeah, but look what if hole here tries
to take a powder while we're going, have one of
the local policemen keep an eye on him. Allians see
that he doesn't get away. That's ane for the last time.
Will you get out of that costume into some decent clothes.
You've got work to do a lot of good. It'll
(13:20):
do us to make this trip lick. We already got
Razida's address and the costume, didn't we Yeah, we already
know we're addressed the more. Yeah. The costumes were sold
to a dance team called the South Sisty.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, and we'll find the address. That'll be a theatrical
boarding house where they won't even remember Rosita are Yeah,
this is the place right here, and it doesn't look
like any cheap theatrical boarding house to me. No, there,
you're right.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
This is a pretty fair looking apartment building.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
It that way. Oh, let's see see say we're in luck.
Oh yeah, here's the nameplate. See O Rock Sand Caseel
Apartment one. See yeah, okay, pressed the buzzer, small lock matic.
Comebody's homie? Good you Rock San Cassell? Sure?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
What are its?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Just a minute? Your voice? Hey you're Rosita Cassell.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You're wrong there, mister Iron Rock Sand what's up?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Was Rosita your sister?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
We just worked together as a dance team. Then we
had a fight and split up. Last I heard she
was deathing in a cheap little Connie show.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Oh what's he done? Now? She's been murdered. Murdered? Sure?
What was it?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
A man who killed her?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Why do you ask that?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Well, she was running around with a guy before she
left town, a big shot. He got sore at her
and she was afraid of him, scared half to death.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You know the man's name. It was a kind of
funny name, something like a Milder or Wildern. Was it Wilton?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Nigel, Bessy, I always wondered what a guy a name
like that would look like.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Are you going to find out, miss Cassel and try? Yes, Patsy,
I thought I told you nobody was to leave this
hotel room where missus Nigel or mister Hall and they
were the local police, Nick, I'll come well. They wanted
Hall to would.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Entify the body, and they wanted a question Missus Nigela
about leaving that political breakfast before it was over.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Sergeant Mathieson or the police questioning still up because they think.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
She ought mister Nigel.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
This is a murder case.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They'll be questioning you too when they hear.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
What this young.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Lady here has to say?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
What the fuck I don't know her, do I? Miss? No?
But your new Rosita all right?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
And knowing you didn't do her no good either, But
that's prepos.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
They brought you all the way off from the CDITA
to accuse me of murder. Nobody accused you of murder, Nigel.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
All I know is what Rosita said about a guy
named Nigel.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Please please, it's still it should come back in here?
What's still here? You?
Speaker 2 (15:51):

help me prove it for me. I don't get it.
You will. We're going to open his Palace of Oriental

a trial. Now. Look, he ain't going to be thinking
about the carnival. He'll be trying to get out of
town fast and car. The police will be watching that.

the customs. She wore the same customs he's wearing now.
But the girl in the bathtub wasn't Tam that way.

him the same treatment you gave Rosita, the first chance
you got. I've got a.

Treatment for all of you if you try to stop me,
a lead treatment under this veil. I straighted over my
right hand on holding a gun. Name that miss bowen back.
Not if you want me born to live, She's gonna
leave with me, and if any of you try to
follow her, she gets shot. So if you want me
bad enough to have her killed, come right ahead.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Patsy slowly puts her hands up as the dancing girl
reveals a new use for a veil. Nick hesitates as
the two climb down off the platform. We'll see what
happens in just a moment. Now, for the conclusion of
the case of the candidate's corpse. Today's adventure with Nick
Carter brought to you my new post war old Dutch cleanser.

With her veil covered revolver pressed firmly against Patsy's back,
the dancing girl moves towards the rear of the tent.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I'd all right, all right, rock San, Why did you
kill Rosita?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Rosita had it coming to it. Why tell me working
in this Connie job on her name? Because she was
working a blackmail racket and wanted an alibi.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is anything went wrong and she could claims she went
out of town with whole show. Yeah, was Rosita planning
to blackmail mister Nigel?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
No game, that's trying to keep him from getting the elected.
Hired her to come up and sneak in his hotel
room while he was off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
She's gonna put out a big act about how she
was his girlfriend and all that time.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And when she was through with her act, Nigel would
have had her withdraw from the race, her face and
nasty scandal. That's sister can And if anything went wrong,
Rosita would have taken your place in the show by sure.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
She could approved.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
She was doing a dance act at the time she
was supposed to have been putting on a rack with Nigel. Oh,
I did it pretty clever? Dis grateful? You mean, but
how did you happen to go to the hotel.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Rock Stand, I saw a chance to make myself a
nice hunk of money. If I decided to sell what I.

Knew to Nijell. Only when you got to the hotel,
you found Rosita was already there.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, I guess I was at a double cross when
we got into a fight. I knew I had to
get rid of her, so I hit her over.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
The head with a bookend, and you put her in
the bathtub and turned down the water. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Then I went back to town to see if I
could find where he kept her money.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But you got there too soon. When you got there
in time to save me from being the victim of
a dirty political plot, it almost looks as if I'm
a man of destiny.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Praise the speech for tonight, will t yes money.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
One thing, mister Nigel, when you came to my office,
why wouldn't you tell me where you got the tip
that somebody was starting to ruin your career? Well, it
was an anonymous phone call from a girl.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
It was from me in case I decided to sell
out to you.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
And why didn't you tell me that, mister Nigel? And
have still know beautiful young girl had been talking to
me on the phone. Dear me, I'd rather go through
anything than have that happen. Well, Nick, what about the
(23:43):
adventure that new post war old Dutch cleanser will bring
us next week. It's a story about a woman who
writes soap operas, Mike, and does a good job of
it until a murder she writes about actually happens in
real life. And every suspect has a perfect alibi too.
But when the radio actress who plays the part of
the murder victim disappeared, Wait a minute, this is getting
too complicated. I have complicated, Mike, just puzzling for such
(24:04):
a simple murder is almost perfect. In fact, it might
have been completely perfect if I hadn't bluffed. But sounds wonderful. Nick,
what do you call this adventure? I call it the
Case of the Substitute Slayer. Nick Carter Master Detective is

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
