Something back to you. I've condemned every one of them,

but we're white tul we get some of these years,
say Nick, n we couldn't buy any eggs. Let's get
await from the store window. I wanna go around. Take
(04:15):
a looking back at the store. What this is all about? Nick?
Looks like the phony set up? Assie. Oh, I'm sure
the man in there isn't bleaker, I said, I miss
my guess, he said, crooked posing as bleaker? What makes
you thinks first place? The way he talked? Second place?
By the money he offered me. I I got a
quick look. But that five dollar bill he offered me,
look phony?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Is this a counterfit?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
In case?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Of course, I'll explain in a few minutes. Right now,
I want to see what's happened to the real Bleaker.
Let's see, I guess, said Burton back alley her eyes
behind the store, and here's the cellar entrance to the store.
Think you better duck down to the cellar and look around.
Get that door up water right, Nick, let's see. Take
a look at the garage, just the place, save right away.
This is a heavy door. Nick, quite give your hand, Yes,
(04:55):
come here quick.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I found in the garage.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Holy man, I'll tied up in gag travel be bleaker. Yep,
we got these works off war. Sure, take off the gag.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Golly, I don't think he's breathing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Maybe he's dead. No, no, he still warm. More, Thank
Heaven's Nick, quick wader dry artificial respiration. One chance in
a thousand we can save him, all right, Nick, Hess
and Patsy nice spot. Yeah, we gotta call him for
an ambulance full moto at once to give this man
a chance. But when an ambulance arrives, the crook inside
the store is gonna catch on. You've gotta help me.
Take off your head, comb your hair and the bangs.
(05:30):
Make your face up heavily with plenty of lipstick.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Disguise myself as are tough.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
In other words, right, that thug in there hasn't seen
you yet, so you can get away with it day.
Go into the store and get him out of there,
get him up by hook or crook and stay with him.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh, trust me, Nick, I'll do whatever I have to.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Sing towards them. Now, Look, Nick, I'm pretty sorry about this.
What's the idea letting that mug in the g grocery
store get away? I didn't let him marry Patsy took
him away. You realize that we can't bring Bleaker two.
(06:05):
It's a murder rafts more than just a murder. At
Matty are they doing with the poor motor water? Nick?
What's all this about poisoned eggs? Very simple? Chickens are
funny birds. What they eat goes into the eggs they
lay in license If a chicken eats mothballs, this eggs
smell of camper, no kidd. In fact, somewhere in the
country there are some chickens that have been drinking water
polluted with nitroglycerin. What's that the eggs world had for
(06:28):
breakfast at traces of nitroglycerin in them? So might have
been an accident, But when I found an obvious thug
posing as a grocer in the store where the eggs
are bought, I knew it was something else. Somewhere, Maddy
up in the farming country, there's a crooked plant manufacturing
supplies for criminals, boot like nitroglycerin for blasting safes, coniferent money,
probably everything that a crook can't buy legitimately, holy smooke.
(06:48):
And these polluted eggs are the giveaway to the plays. Right,
some of the nitroom must have seeped out accidentally and
polluted the water in a brook or something. It runs
through a chicken farm nearby. Well, I'll be done. That's
why I had to hold onto that pug without tippy
my hand. He's got to lead us to that place.
What's the poormoter stopping format? Why the job is done? Nick?
That man was practically dead when we found him, but
he's alive. Now you saved all the good good Walter.
(07:11):
Can I question him on not down for two or
three days? The doc says she is going to be
tough enough just keeping him alive. Two or three dick.
By that time, this whole now maybe a thousand miles away.
It's all up to Patsy. Now all we can do
is go back to the office and wait for her
to check in.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Hey, Eddie, yeah, close that door, will you. I can't
hear myself.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Think you're funny.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But okay, when you invite a lady eat in a
private dining room, she likes to be private.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I never knew old man Blink I had a good
looking daughter like you. What a break for me? You
coming into this door looking for him?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Come you mind in the store for him.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
He didn't say he was going nowhere.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
He got a rush call. Had to see somebody about
some garage business. Uh, gonna be plenty. So when he
hears I closed up the place to go eat lunch
with his knockout though he ain't then wait ever, gonna
bring you some food.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm gonna call him.
Speaker 4 (08:19):

tainted eggs were delivered in. Those crates are usually stenciled
with the address of the farm that delivered them. Yeah,
(11:11):

I want to tell us where Eddie Tyler has been
during the past few weeks. How the devil can dust
do that? Nick? Use your head world. Yeah, but there's
dust in the year everywhere, and that's not all the
same kind of dust. I'm particular kinds of dust and
particular localities, and that's what I'm coming on. You found
(12:37):
anything yet, Nick, I think so, Bessie. No, it's the
law and done good and sore too, if you want
to know by Eddie talimany, Nick, this is a fine mess.
You let Tyler get away so you can break the
case and he ends up a corpse. Oh when the
commissioner hears about this tomorrow morning, the case will be
ended by tomorrow morning. Are you kidding, no, hoping. I've
(12:58):
been checking the dust from pile us pockets. Outside of
ordinary dust, found almost everywhere. I've found smelder dust, flour dust,
and particles of dry hay, all in the deepest layers.
That means Tyler's been living in the farming vicinity that
also has an iron foundry and flour mill somewhere near.
Give me that industrial map, order right, Nick Carter.

That's a sheriff in here that hates the very side
of me. Hey, did you have a run in with
him before, Nick, Yeah, in the Joplin case last year.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
But it was a run in with her a lady

Speaker 1 (14:15):

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Ma'am, Waldo McGlenn works alone. Good. Now, what's the lay
out here, ma'am?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You see that house there right along the chicken yard. Yep,
there's some men lived there.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They rented it from Wilson. They pretend to be scientists
doing research, but they I know, I know they're crooks, ma'am,
and making dynamite and burglar tours for more crooks.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Well, in some way the night for Glisser there making
got into the chickens drinking water and.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Tainted the egg I've already deduced that we shoved.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So this morning, when the eggs were delivered to Bleeker's
Grocery in New York, Bleaker called farmer Wilson on the
telephone and complain. And Wilson asked the crooks about it,
because he thought they were scientists. He couldn't understand it, huh.
And the crooks realized that the tainted eye might lead
the police up here to their factory, so when they
learned that all the eggs in this particular shipment went
(17:14):
to Bleakers, they rushed down to the city and tried
to cover up by closing Bleaker's mouth and paying off
all the customers who came back to the grocery to complain.
They even had a woman posed as a health inspector
to make it look legitimate. But you come into the house,
mister McGlenn.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The crooks aren't here.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now, tyber of ma'am you you are the health inspector. Yes,

Speaker 4 (18:32):
The New York Cheff Dickney.
Speaker 2 (18:33):

I'm Nick Carter.
Speaker 3 (18:40):

I was up here investigating a ship in a bad eggs.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
What did you say? Just happened to you, Miss Steele?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh, it's the strangest thing. I found a car parked
out on the road. It's one that Sheriff's Diickney Ranson.
And guess what was stuck in the windshields? Half of
a hundred dollars bill and what road?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Just outside Wilson's farm.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It was near a large white building alongside the chicken yards,
chicken yards meat.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That's it, Yes, Patsy, come on let's get out there fast.
The heavy roadster surges forward as Nick and Patsy drive
into what is apparently a cleverly baited trap. We'll see
whether or not the jaws of the trap close on
them in just a moment. And now for the conclusion
(19:29):
of the case of the Chemical Chickens and today's Nick
Carter Adventure, brought to you by All Dutch Cleanser. At
seven o'clock, the night is pitch black. Alongside the white
house behind Farmer Wilson's chicken yard, five men and a
woman wait tensely watching the turnpike road. He ought to
be along any minute. In me. I took the shortcut.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It couldn't be more than five minutes behind me.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He'll be along. This is what we do, Bendle.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
When he comes Wilson in looking for Grandpa, we knock
him in the girl cold. We take the three them
over to the covered bridge, drive them in the car
into the river.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Big accident. Listen, it's a car.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's Carter. I know that car. Get set, everybody. When
I give the word, give them the lights and.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Show them they're covered. Looks like Carter and the girl.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
All right, Bingdle, now, oh.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
You're covered.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Cotter, you're in the holy what's.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
The meaning of this ruckus? What are you doing with them?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Guns? Guns is illegal in bricks and Tully. The team's
sure your name's.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Been delated and yours is steel. Well, you're both under arrest.
Were gonna get covered. Ma, I'm sorry your numbers up.
Don't get excited.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Boys.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Ma's gonna have a fatal accident along with Carter and
the girl.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The only accident I'm gonna have it to full the
trigger this timmy guy. Hey, that's catterware on the roof
of your little factory, covering all of you. The first
man of tars a light taught me gets a head
full of sluts. Your rackets finished, Janets. You wanna know why?
I ask your lawyer. You've been seeing a lot of
him while you're trying to beat a murder at.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Carter, I got a hand to you.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You're all right for a New York detective. Laying the
whole case in my lap. The way you did was
mighty generous. Nick boy, I got who apologize? I failed
me mission? Just when I had this whole mystery solved.
I need one needles.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
One little slip you walked right into a trap with
your eyes wide.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Open, you and your forty four.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Just one thing, Carter, how'd you know that story of
Janics was phony? When she tried to trap you and
miss Bowen?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, she has taken me three things. Before I came
out here. I checked up and couldn't find any record
of an inspector on the Health department staff named Janet Steele.
That was the first thing. Then I didn't like the
idea of a health inspector working up here in Britain.
It's on a twenty. She wouldn't have any jurisdiction up here.
She sure wouldn't have to slip the jail. Everything for
me was when she claimed to recognize Waldo's car as
one of the cars as you rented for a stranger
(22:02):
in Brickton. It was obviously impossible for her to know that,
So I pretended to fall into the trap. And that's all. Ah,
You've done it in great style. Nick Bye. When you
showed up on that roof with a tummy gun in
your hands, us all seem Carter all over again. None
of that fancy deduction stuff, No sirr of bullets and action.
Nick take Kaldo mcglenn's word for it, you will be
(22:25):
a detective. Yet, well, Nick, what about the adventure Old
ash Cleaner will bring us next week? Before I answer that, Bob,
I wish to remind our listeners that National Boys Club
Week begins tomorrow, and, as you know, sponsoring a boy's
(22:46):
club on my own, I'm particularly interested in this fine
work which is combating juvenile delinquency so effectively. More than
a quarter of a million boys find wholesome activity and
entertainment in these clubs under competent leadership. They companionship and
recreation alone to develop skills and ambitions. According to law
enforcement authorities, boys clubs lesson delinquency wherever they're established. For
(23:10):
these reasons, I personally, as well as the makers of
Old Dutch Cleanser, wish to salute the Boys Clubs of
America for their great contribution in building the citizens of tomorrow.
And now next week's adventure.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Oh, it scares me just to remember that case.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
If it scares you, it must be some story. What's
it all about? While Barber started with a mysterious disappearance
of a lot of new cars that were never found again.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And just about finished when Nick and I ended up
in an old abandoned quarry full of water.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But thanks to a new shortwave device, we managed to
solve the case. I certainly want to hear this story.
What do you call it, Nick? I call it the
Case of the Lucrative Rex. Nick carter Master Detective is

breakfast nakes?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
They had nitro glycerin in them?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Someone put nitro glycerin in the eggs? Then how to

Speaker 1 (00:38):
The chickens had laid these eggs with the explosive. The
eggs were laid by chemical chickens, and all the case
of the chemical chickens. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought

red film proving the will and question be pisoned. If
you don't shit me, I'm a did mat now walda. Look,
we're too busy for practically you'll perhaps here and fast
if you don't find me, and that you don't. You
didn't two minutes?
Speaker 2 (01:18):

Some criminals have poisoned these higgs. I was heaven from

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Someone put nighte glizzerin in the eggs.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
No, the chickens that laid these eggs put it in, Nick,
Are you joking? I'm not. These eggs are laid by
chemical chickens, and nitro isn't the thing that chickens can
pick up anywhere. Gotta look into this.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What do you think is going on?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Nick? Can't tell you, But here's the we'll do. But
all go to the store where Wilder's land he bought

Five dozen eggs in a bucket dozen? Here's your dough
five bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Hey, what's this for?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
It's the payoff, But I'm shelling out for the bum
eggs I sold this morning.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I beg your pardon, sir. I'm Janet Steel, pure food
inspector for the Health Department.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You'd like to register a complaint about the eggs sold

Something back to you. I've condemned every one of them,
says if we'll have to try some other place, My friend, Yeah,
but we're white tul we get some of these years,
say Nick, n we couldn't buy any eggs. Let's get
await from the store window. I wanna go around. Take
(04:15):
a looking back at the store. What this is all about? Nick?
Looks like the phony set up? Assie. Oh, I'm sure
the man in there isn't bleaker, I said, I miss
my guess, he said, crooked posing as bleaker? What makes
you thinks first place? The way he talked? Second place?
By the money he offered me. I I got a
quick look. But that five dollar bill he offered me,
look phony?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Is this a counterfit?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
In case?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Of course, I'll explain in a few minutes. Right now,
I want to see what's happened to the real Bleaker.
Let's see, I guess, said Burton back alley her eyes
behind the store, and here's the cellar entrance to the store.
Think you better duck down to the cellar and look around.
Get that door up water right, Nick, let's see. Take
a look at the garage, just the place, save right away.
This is a heavy door. Nick, quite give your hand, Yes,
(04:55):
come here quick.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I found in the garage.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Holy man, I'll tied up in gag travel be bleaker. Yep,
we got these works off war. Sure, take off the gag.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Golly, I don't think he's breathing.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Maybe he's dead. No, no, he still warm. More, Thank
Heaven's Nick, quick wader dry artificial respiration. One chance in
a thousand we can save him, all right, Nick, Hess
and Patsy nice spot. Yeah, we gotta call him for
an ambulance full moto at once to give this man
a chance. But when an ambulance arrives, the crook inside
the store is gonna catch on. You've gotta help me.
Take off your head, comb your hair and the bangs.
(05:30):
Make your face up heavily with plenty of lipstick.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Disguise myself as are tough.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
In other words, right, that thug in there hasn't seen
you yet, so you can get away with it day.
Go into the store and get him out of there,
get him up by hook or crook and stay with him.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh, trust me, Nick, I'll do whatever I have to.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Sing towards them. Now, Look, Nick, I'm pretty sorry about this.
What's the idea letting that mug in the g grocery
store get away? I didn't let him marry Patsy took
him away. You realize that we can't bring Bleaker two.
(06:05):
It's a murder rafts more than just a murder. At
Matty are they doing with the poor motor water? Nick?
What's all this about poisoned eggs? Very simple? Chickens are
funny birds. What they eat goes into the eggs they
lay in license If a chicken eats mothballs, this eggs
smell of camper, no kidd. In fact, somewhere in the
country there are some chickens that have been drinking water
polluted with nitroglycerin. What's that the eggs world had for
(06:28):
breakfast at traces of nitroglycerin in them? So might have
been an accident, But when I found an obvious thug
posing as a grocer in the store where the eggs
are bought, I knew it was something else. Somewhere, Maddy
up in the farming country, there's a crooked plant manufacturing
supplies for criminals, boot like nitroglycerin for blasting safes, coniferent money,
probably everything that a crook can't buy legitimately, holy smooke.
(06:48):
And these polluted eggs are the giveaway to the plays. Right,
some of the nitroom must have seeped out accidentally and
polluted the water in a brook or something. It runs
through a chicken farm nearby. Well, I'll be done. That's
why I had to hold onto that pug without tippy
my hand. He's got to lead us to that place.
What's the poormoter stopping format? Why the job is done? Nick?
That man was practically dead when we found him, but
he's alive. Now you saved all the good good Walter.
(07:11):
Can I question him on not down for two or
three days? The doc says she is going to be
tough enough just keeping him alive. Two or three dick.
By that time, this whole now maybe a thousand miles away.
It's all up to Patsy. Now all we can do
is go back to the office and wait for her
to check in.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Hey, Eddie, yeah, close that door, will you. I can't
hear myself.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Think you're funny.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But okay, when you invite a lady eat in a
private dining room, she likes to be private.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I never knew old man Blink I had a good
looking daughter like you. What a break for me? You
coming into this door looking for him?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Come you mind in the store for him.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
He didn't say he was going nowhere.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
He got a rush call. Had to see somebody about
some garage business. Uh, gonna be plenty. So when he
hears I closed up the place to go eat lunch
with his knockout though he ain't then wait ever, gonna
bring you some food.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'm gonna call him.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I'll get that punch moving.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Okay, babe, important garage business.

stare to buy eggs this morning when I.
Speaker 1 (08:49):

Speaker 3 (08:51):

Patsy Bowen, Carter's secretary.
Speaker 1 (08:56):

care of me, won't.
Speaker 3 (09:03):

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Long, Tyler Eddie Tyler sprawls over the table, two bullets
in his heart as Janet steels slips out of the
private dining room. With Tyler dead, Nick's only lead in
the case ends. We learn what he does next in
just a moment, and I'll back to the case of

the Chemical Chicken in today's adventure with Nick Carter, brought
you by all Dutch cleanser. As we pick up our story,
Nick Carter and Waldo have pulled up to the cafe
and answer to Patsy's urgent telephone call.

is what we do. You telephone many Yeah, I'm about
this murder and join me at the lamb. Okay, that's

tainted eggs were delivered in. Those crates are usually stenciled
with the address of the farm that delivered them. Yeah,
(11:11):

may tell us where Eddie Tyler came from. She can't.
We'll have to depend on his pockets and the cuffs

I want to tell us where Eddie Tyler has been
during the past few weeks. How the devil can dust
do that? Nick? Use your head world. Yeah, but there's
dust in the year everywhere, and that's not all the
same kind of dust. I'm particular kinds of dust and
particular localities, and that's what I'm coming on. You found

anything yet, Nick, I think so, Bessie. No, it's the
law and done good and sore too, if you want
to know by Eddie talimany, Nick, this is a fine mess.
You let Tyler get away so you can break the
case and he ends up a corpse. Oh when the
commissioner hears about this tomorrow morning, the case will be
ended by tomorrow morning. Are you kidding, no, hoping. I've
(12:58):
been checking the dust from pile us pockets. Outside of
ordinary dust, found almost everywhere. I've found smelder dust, flour dust,
and particles of dry hay, all in the deepest layers.
That means Tyler's been living in the farming vicinity that
also has an iron foundry and flour mill somewhere near.
Give me that industrial map, order right, Nick Carter.
Speaker 2 (13:16):

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Mister McGlenn, I'm certainly glad to see you.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
It's about those eggs, the bad eggs.

Oh, you've phoned them there.

mister McGlenn. I'm only a weak woman.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
And you Waldo McGlynn's the right man for you, ma'am.
Where are they bad eggs?

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Does mister Carter know you're here, no.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Ma'am, Waldo McGlenn works alone. Good. Now, what's the lay
out here, ma'am?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You see that house there right along the chicken yard. Yep,
there's some men lived there.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
They rented it from Wilson. They pretend to be scientists
doing research, but they I know, I know they're crooks, ma'am,
and making dynamite and burglar tours for more crooks.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Well, in some way the night for Glisser there making
got into the chickens drinking water and.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Tainted the egg I've already deduced that we shoved.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So this morning, when the eggs were delivered to Bleeker's
Grocery in New York, Bleaker called farmer Wilson on the
telephone and complain. And Wilson asked the crooks about it,
because he thought they were scientists. He couldn't understand it, huh.
And the crooks realized that the tainted eye might lead
the police up here to their factory, so when they
learned that all the eggs in this particular shipment went
(17:14):
to Bleakers, they rushed down to the city and tried
to cover up by closing Bleaker's mouth and paying off
all the customers who came back to the grocery to complain.
They even had a woman posed as a health inspector
to make it look legitimate. But you come into the house,
mister McGlenn.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
The crooks aren't here.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now, tyber of ma'am you you are the health inspector. Yes,

Speaker 1 (18:47):
What did you say? Just happened to you, Miss Steele?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh, it's the strangest thing. I found a car parked
out on the road. It's one that Sheriff's Diickney Ranson.
And guess what was stuck in the windshields? Half of
a hundred dollars bill and what road?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Just outside Wilson's farm.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It was near a large white building alongside the chicken yards,
chicken yards meat.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That's it, Yes, Patsy, come on let's get out there fast.
The heavy roadster surges forward as Nick and Patsy drive
into what is apparently a cleverly baited trap. We'll see
whether or not the jaws of the trap close on
them in just a moment. And now for the conclusion
(19:29):
of the case of the Chemical Chickens and today's Nick
Carter Adventure, brought to you by All Dutch Cleanser. At
seven o'clock, the night is pitch black. Alongside the white
house behind Farmer Wilson's chicken yard, five men and a
woman wait tensely watching the turnpike road. He ought to
be along any minute. In me. I took the shortcut.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
It couldn't be more than five minutes behind me.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
He'll be along. This is what we do, Bendle.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
When he comes Wilson in looking for Grandpa, we knock
him in the girl cold. We take the three them
over to the covered bridge, drive them in the car
into the river.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Big accident. Listen, it's a car.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
It's Carter. I know that car. Get set, everybody. When
I give the word, give them the lights and.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Show them they're covered. Looks like Carter and the girl.

Boys.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Ma's gonna have a fatal accident along with Carter and
the girl.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The only accident I'm gonna have it to full the
trigger this timmy guy. Hey, that's catterware on the roof
of your little factory, covering all of you. The first
man of tars a light taught me gets a head
full of sluts. Your rackets finished, Janets. You wanna know why?
I ask your lawyer. You've been seeing a lot of
him while you're trying to beat a murder at.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Carter, I got a hand to you.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You're all right for a New York detective. Laying the
whole case in my lap. The way you did was
mighty generous. Nick boy, I got who apologize? I failed
me mission? Just when I had this whole mystery solved.
I need one needles.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
One little slip you walked right into a trap with
your eyes wide.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Open, you and your forty four.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Just one thing, Carter, how'd you know that story of
Janics was phony? When she tried to trap you and
miss Bowen?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, she has taken me three things. Before I came
out here. I checked up and couldn't find any record
of an inspector on the Health department staff named Janet Steele.
That was the first thing. Then I didn't like the
idea of a health inspector working up here in Britain.
It's on a twenty. She wouldn't have any jurisdiction up here.
She sure wouldn't have to slip the jail. Everything for
me was when she claimed to recognize Waldo's car as
one of the cars as you rented for a stranger
(22:02):
in Brickton. It was obviously impossible for her to know that,
So I pretended to fall into the trap. And that's all. Ah,
You've done it in great style. Nick Bye. When you
showed up on that roof with a tummy gun in
your hands, us all seem Carter all over again. None
of that fancy deduction stuff, No sirr of bullets and action.
Nick take Kaldo mcglenn's word for it, you will be
(22:25):
a detective. Yet, well, Nick, what about the adventure Old
ash Cleaner will bring us next week? Before I answer that, Bob,
I wish to remind our listeners that National Boys Club
Week begins tomorrow, and, as you know, sponsoring a boy's
(22:46):
club on my own, I'm particularly interested in this fine
work which is combating juvenile delinquency so effectively. More than
a quarter of a million boys find wholesome activity and
entertainment in these clubs under competent leadership. They companionship and
recreation alone to develop skills and ambitions. According to law
enforcement authorities, boys clubs lesson delinquency wherever they're established. For
(23:10):
these reasons, I personally, as well as the makers of
Old Dutch Cleanser, wish to salute the Boys Clubs of
America for their great contribution in building the citizens of tomorrow.
And now next week's adventure.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Oh, it scares me just to remember that case.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
If it scares you, it must be some story. What's
it all about? While Barber started with a mysterious disappearance
of a lot of new cars that were never found again.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And just about finished when Nick and I ended up
in an old abandoned quarry full of water.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But thanks to a new shortwave device, we managed to
solve the case. I certainly want to hear this story.
What do you call it, Nick? I call it the
Case of the Lucrative Rex. Nick carter Master Detective is
presented each week at this time and over these same
stations by the Cutting Heat Packing Company, makers of Old
(23:58):
Dutch cleanser Ebert. When you go shopping tomorrow, get the cleanser.
Speaker 7 (24:02):

Dutch cleanser.
