Speaker 1 (03:32):

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Then Nick, you join Nick, you get mixed up in everything.
We are born that way as a result of practice.
I don't know. Brady, Patsy and I were driving down
(03:55):
Central Elevenue last night morning.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Her own business, and we just finished the candle case.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That was the moment when John Y Macklin came tearing
out of the place and jumped into his car.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Can come from the story else stoppin and.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I was the closest, so I cut him off.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Nick, Why should you be interested? One kid's dead, We've
got the other one cold for attempted robbery. There isn't
any case. It so happens ready that there is a case.
I am the guns the boys use. What about them?
Every identification mark and serial number has been removed and
in a professional manner. So what somebody's in the business
of preparing and selling firearms to crooks and potential crooked bades.
(04:28):
That somebody's got to be put out of business.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You're right about that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So with your permission, I'm cutting myself into this deal.
O ky Nick, where are you going to start?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Going down to the hospital for a talk with Johnny Mecklin. Johnny,
I want to know where you got that gun.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Ah, go fly a kite.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now listen, Johnny, the man who soldier that gun is
as much responsible for the jam you're in as you are,
and I.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Want to know his name. Go scrab You know I
can trace the gun like one your can rein no
number on it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I said, I can trace the gun, and I can,
and I can get the man who processed it and
sold it to you, And you can save.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Me a lot of time. If you'll answer my questions.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It'll make things easier for you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Johnny, you can't trace that rodd, and you know it.
You're bluff you think, So let's have the lab kit, Bessie.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Hi, you hear, Nick?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You see, Johnny, the serial numbers I stamped into the
metal of a gun, and I stamped with a lot
of pressure. But even if someone very carefully removes those
numbers with a file and acid, they can't change one thing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What, for instance, the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Fact that the stamp has hit the metal so hard
it's permanently changed the crystalline structure of the metal.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Woo, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean that I can drop some of this chemical
reagent and the gun where the serial number was originally
like this, I'm watching and you'll see the original serial
number of a gun, your gun showing up fuzzy but
distinct enough to read.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You mean, see why two eight, four three seven.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
For the love of them, so we lie to me
the dirty, lousy, crooky light to me? Oh is it
Johnny pop garat over on tenth Davy the Girard hardware store.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Go get him, mister Carter.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm gonna Brady, Brady, Nick, I've located the man who
saw Johnny mcklin his gun is a man named Gerard
who runs a hardware store on tenth Avenue. But I've
got a hunch, Girard's only the salesman. I want the
manufacturers going over there and place in order for guns
big enough to stir things up. And when I order
(07:01):
'em in my best gangster voice, it's gonna start things popping.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I hope.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yo, Gerard, ain'ts me, mister, I got two hundred bucks
for you.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Two hunt right here. Fred and Johnny sent their regards
with the dough. Fredd and Johnny SMI, you get it.
They pulled a nice job last night, but they figured
it'd be safer maybe the lamb out of town, so
they sent me with the dough.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What's your name, mister Kane? Nels Kane from Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You don't know me, Well, I'm much obliged, mister King.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Listen, Gerard, I like the way you did business with
the kids, so I figure maybe you and me can
make a deal. Yuh how much for forty belly guns?
Thirty eight's fogie and maybe a Thompson gun too, Mister King,
it's one big order. Well, I run one big organization
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Well, I'll see what I can do, mister Kane. Unfortunately
I can't let you know right away. I suppose you
could come back this afternoon at three, and I am
sure we can do business together and find mister Kane.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Real fine, I see, I think we're in Mister Roger Manny, No,
my hunt was right.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's just a salesman. So I give him a big
order my best gangster dialect. And he said he had
to find out whether mister manufacturer had enough stock to
supply me. And I'll get to the manufacturer through Gerard
this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Uh huh, oh, golly, I forgot Brady called ten minutes ago.
He said, you asked him to keep the story quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I did well.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
One of the police reporters got hold of the boys'
names for the l and they'll be in the paper tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh make if.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Mister Manufacturer sys that your case is shot.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's no lie.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
What do you do now?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I only know I've gotta find out who's supplying the
underworld with guns. Now for my next question, how old
is your firm? Mister Valance, Rodney Valence Incorporated is seventy
five years old. I'm the third Rodney Valance to head
(09:27):
this old and respected firm as firemaster firemaster. What's that
the firemaster invens and creates the new types of fireworks
that are manufactured each year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Oh that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Indeed, yes, Linden, it's a gerard to see you. That
is urgent, very old, my dear. If you would excuse
me a moment, mister till that's all right, mister Valence,
I'll wait here. Well, Jared, I think we got a
new customer, mister Valence, and come to us through with
Johnny Macklin, who was sent to us by one of
(09:58):
my best customers.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Man named Keane nels Kane from Saint Louis wants forty
guns in the townsen.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Forty Yeah, quite an order, eh.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Eh, There's just one thing, mister Valens. Eh, I uh
don't know this nels Kin. Never seen him before, never
even heard of him. And we must be careful as
always and check the fires Lindham.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yes, mister Ballance, eh.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Knowing by the name of nels Caine. Listen here, mister Ballance.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Nevertheless, such an order is rather too large to throw
away on mere suspicion. Eh, It's the way I feel,
mister Vanley's I'll tell you tried real arrange to test
the gentleman's integrity this afternoon. It'll be atl test, but
it's very affective. Well, now the Johnny and Fred's names
(10:52):
will be in the newspapers, and Balance is already suspicious
of his new customer. It looks as though Nick Carter
may be up against a tough problem. We'll see how
he meets this challenge. In just a moment, I'll back
to the case of the two Faced Firemaster. Today's adventure
with Nick Carter brought to you by new post war
(11:15):
old Dutch Cleanser. While the past hour, Nick has been
engaged in his favorite pastime while thinking, he's throwing.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Darts at the target set up in his office.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Finally, however, Patsy just can't stand not being talked to
any launder.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Nick, haven't you thought of anything yet, Patsy, I guess
I'll just have to go ahead and take a chance.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Maybe Gerard and mister Manufacturer won't see the whold up
story in the paper until it's too late.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Maybe in the meantime I have a plan and they help.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, tell Walter to pick up Scubby and fly out
to Boonetown at once.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Okay, bo, what for.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Had to carry thorny identification with him identifying them as
Johnny Macklin and friend, and then out in Boonetown that
it creates some wild fuss that'll get them picked up
by the local police, something that'll make a big splash
in the newspapers. And it's got to be so big
that the local papers here will be sure.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
To pick it up.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Well, what should they do?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I want you to give Waldo five hundred dollars and
tell him he's to hold up a bank and put
the money in the bank.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Save, hold up.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
A bank and put the money in the bank safe.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yes, Oh, that'll make the headlines all right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Naturally, I want you to make arrangements to have the
bank cooperate.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Well, I should hope so on the quiet of court.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Check the meantime, I've got a three o'clock date for Gerard,
and I hope he.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Doesn't have a newspaper with him.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
All right, Peterson, we've arrived.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
What time is it, Lindallas?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Very good, you'll understand your instructions, Peterson, I think so
much the violence Jord has told this kne person to
meet me alongside the trolley power station at half past three.
But you will meet him and of course pretend that
you are the key man in this deal.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yes, sir, so you will also carry this bag.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Okay, there's a Thompson gun in it which you will
offer as a sample. I see and uh if this
cane proves to be a coup or something, trust me, Peterson,
trust me. Okay, mister Valence, and I'll be off with you.
You mustn't keep us kne meeting. Been waiting long, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Huh ah, yeah here I say, no, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Uh, I'm a little late. Sorry, you're a big boy.
That's right, brother. Oh, I had you carry the ball?
What do you mean I am a stranger in town?
Miss then I'm not taking no chances. You wanna do
business with me, go ahead and talk. Okay, okay, touchy,
ain't you? I got a sample here to show you now. Uh,
(14:01):
this here is Thompson special. It's a rebuilt You have
no identification.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Got crazy, but he's the guy you have anyway, a baby,
you're trying to set up a pinch for me.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
For you, I wanna beat your head in.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
You know, no better than a flash of Thompson gun
up and the opening where a hundred people can see
us see you get on your feet, bunk, take that
bag and get out of here. But I taught you
I don't do business with you. You're a big boy in
this deal, and I'm the king of Siam.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Hey, Gerard, I want a couple of hoofs. Hey, what's
the idea sending up much? Have them beat me the
power station.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm right in, mister Kane. Oh you the name is Valance,
Rodney Valance.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
This is Linda.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
How do you do? Mister Kaye?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Hi need to shake your hands, sir. You positively thrashed
poor peaches.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
He had it coming, mister Kane. He was clumsy.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Hey, I'm beginning to get it. Yeah, the big it's great.
So he sent that mug to try me out.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We have to be careful, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Now to get down to business. You spoke of forty
revolvers and Thompson gun.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The price will be five thousand dollars on delivery.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
All firearms are guaranteed to be in the best working
condition and wanted free of all identification marks.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay, enterprise is all right? Where's this stuff?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And let my plant?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Naturally, you couldn't expect me to carry all that around
with me?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
All right? How do I get to the plant?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We will take you there this evening, mister Kane.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Suppose we pick you up in front of your shop
at say seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's I think I've been waiting for you, and he luck.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
This time, I'd finally located our manufacturer. Who isy a
man named Rodney Valance. I dropped off to check him
on the way home. He runs Rodney Valance Incorporated, a
firm that manufactures fireworks.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Firecrackers, skyrockets and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's right, Rodney's what they call the firemaster, the man
who designs the fireworks, but it so happens he also
designs firearms for criminal use.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
To Nick, if you met him, why didn't you grab them?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Didn't want to out until I've located his plant. He's
going to take me there tonight, had seven good get
hold of Sergeant Brady for me, will you. I want
to make a few plans, right, and let's hope that
Rodney Valance doesn't read the wrong newspaper between now and
then he does.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You may have to start looking for a new boss.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Linda.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Linda's six forty five. Time to be on our way,
mister Vallance. We've a busy night before it is, Linda,
there's mister Caine to be taken care of, and Linda,
it's the matter.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Mister Vallence.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Gerard said Caine was a friend of Johnny Macklin's.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Didn't he quite right?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Johnny gave him the money to pay for his guns
before he left town.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Oh, Johnny didn't leave town.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Johnny didn't pull off that job last night? Fred was
killed and Johnny was caught me see that paper there.
Johnny was caught by Nick Carter.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Nick Carter where.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Thank you, Linda, You're a treasure, although I don't think
mister Nail's cane Carter will think so after we've finished
with him.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Tonight, and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Swiftly, Rodley Vallance and Linda leave for their appointment with Nick,
who waits in front of Gerard's store.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We'll see what happens next in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And now for the conclusion of the case of the
Two Faced Firemaster, Today's adventure with Nick Carter robbed you
by new postwar old Dutch Glenser. It's ten minutes after seven.
A long black sedan has just pulled up before Gerard
Shop on Tenth Avenue, and Nick Carter the collar has
overcoat up close around his neck has jumped in swiftly
the sdamn starts is drived through the city.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
H sorry to have kept you waiting, mister Kane. I
hope you.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Forgive me yanks.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Sure, and that's okay. You know just why I come here.
I read in the paper about Johnny Macklin and Fred No,
did you I have crazy kids? Sure, get themselves into
the goofiest gems. You read what they did at in
Boomtown today boom Town, Yes, that's right, see.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
On the paper. Read it to me, Linda.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now, then on a light.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Fact, two thieves identified as Johnny Macklin and Fred Gummer
attempted to rob the Boomtown bank this afternoon, but for
some unknown reason, made the mistake of depositing five hundred
dollars instead of taking any money they mister.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Vallance, Yes, I heard.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Very interesting, isn't it. And we'll go into it after
we get to the plant. Hey, what's the matter of violence,
Nothing at all, mister Kane. Just a little problem of
conflicting newspaper stories.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
We'll have to settle.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Hey, it shouldn't bother you, now, mister.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Kane, Okay, don't bother me.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But there's one thing I do, eh you've been driving
his car on the streets like you and eel.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I don't like it. We're going to your planners.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's a come on, merely your precaution to shake off
anyone who might be tailings, mister Keane.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
That you already tested me once. Wasn't that enough?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I am a careful man, mister Keane, so am I,
especially with five grand on me.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Now, look, we're at fifth and a grand erect. We
was being tailed. We had no more.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So now either way head straight for your place or
I get out. Well, I still got my dough.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
We're going there directly, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Alright, So where is it?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It can't do any harm to tell you now, mister Kane.
It's alongside the river at First Street. It's the Valence
powder House where most people imagine our uh fireworks are manufactured.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The Valence Powder House at First three. Right, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
We're on the level with you, mister Kane.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
But in five minutes we're going to ask you a
more serious question. Are you on the level with us?
He here you are. Will you get out lit yes,
(20:10):
mister Bell now you, mister King, sure, balance shouldn't let
me help the lady out first.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Though, he don't move, mister King, don't raise your voice.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Please, I won't, sister, not put a gun on my back.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Mister Kane. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Up until the time you got into our car, I
was positive you and Nick Carter, Nick Carter.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Joker.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
A certain item in the paper made us think so.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
But you showed us another story that seems to confuse
the issue. To put it plainly, if Johnny and Fred
are really in Boomtown, your nail's Kane. But if they
were captured last night in this city, you're Nick carteron.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Look, if you think you.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Walk into the warehouse, mister Kane or Carter, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
And you'll wait here until we can check the conflicting
newspaper stories. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yes, if your nails.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Kane, you will leave with forty revolvers in the Thompson
guns and apology.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
If you're Nick.

be careful, Linda, I opened the door, I mean, mister Kane.
On mister Carter, Okay, all right, Valance, let's rage what
I to sister?

And you've got a gun.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm gonna use it too, Ready to keep place?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Coming out and grab the girl?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Do you think, mister.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Track keep your hands up?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Found?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Okay, Linda? Do you want to play round?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Nick?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Think you all right?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'm alright ready and have a second album?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Rap that gun?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
That's better? You both covering?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Ready?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Right, I'll got the gun. Okay, that's that. Did you
get your ride in Peterson back at the store?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Here?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It did?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And let's wrap up this case and go home. Well,
mister Vallance.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Look, Carter, if you think, I don't think, mister Vallance,
I know this is the beginning of a long and
profitable relationship between you and a prison cell.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Nick, I don't get it. What, Patsy, when you got
into Valance's car, did you know where his plant was?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No? I didn't have the slightest idea.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
And how come Brady was waiting for you inside the plant?
You said, Valence shook off anybody who could possibly be
tailing you?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Mmmm, Patsy. A great many new devices were developed during
the war. One of them is a very compact radio transmitter,
small enough to go into a large pocket.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Oh then that's.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Why you wore your overcoat, That's why.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And that's also why I turned up the collar so
that Balance and Linda wouldn't see the throat microphone I
was wearing underneath.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Oh well, I'll be darned. All Brady had to do
was listen to what you said to Valence.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
That's right. I said. It was simple, didn't I. That's
how he happened to be waiting for us.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
And that's in that case.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Oh no, no, no, not quite.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
So what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
And say, where are we going?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Oh, Patsy, don't tell me you've forgotten all about Waldo
and Scubby.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Why?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Nick, They're still in Broomtown, in jail, and that's where
we're headed.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Of course, after.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
All, when they pulled off that crazy stunt of theirs,
and confused Balance of Linda gave you that extra five
minutes and neated in order to save my life.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yet I guess the least you can do is to
get them out of jail.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Who's the deal?
Speaker 2 (02:11):

on me right now? Me and Fred, we we figure
we'll have the dough for you in about an hour
if you let us.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
We we we got a little deal. I see well, okay, Johnny,
here you are. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Uh you'll be back here by midnight with the door,
short thing. I see you later, mister Gerard.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
This is a stick up.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Don't nobody move.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
This is a stick if you hear me, this is a.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Stick of you youngs. Fright you can't.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I told no one to move. Get over against a wall.
You'll get the same as he can. Hurry up, check
up the back of the store before you hit the register.
Maybe there's someone back there who turned on alarm, who
didn't put a love.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Of car there.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Want somebody back there, Keat you got your pals not
up that you don't get me? So easy to stay
back against the warn you stay inside all of you.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He can't, I can't, don't get away.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Got my boy.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You'll never get me, not tonight, mister. Not when I
got a car and a robber there. Look out?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
What that car?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Who are you crowding?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oliver?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I said, gets a car, and I got that car
back like fun?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I will okay?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Then Nick, you join Nick, you get mixed up in everything.
We are born that way as a result of practice.
I don't know. Brady, Patsy and I were driving down
(03:55):
Central Elevenue last night morning.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Her own business, and we just finished the candle case.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Sergeant.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That was the moment when John Y Macklin came tearing
out of the place and jumped into his car.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Can come from the story else stoppin and.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I was the closest, so I cut him off.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Nick, Why should you be interested? One kid's dead, We've
got the other one cold for attempted robbery. There isn't
any case. It so happens ready that there is a case.
I am the guns the boys use. What about them?
Every identification mark and serial number has been removed and
in a professional manner. So what somebody's in the business
of preparing and selling firearms to crooks and potential crooked bades.
(04:28):
That somebody's got to be put out of business.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You're right about that.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So with your permission, I'm cutting myself into this deal.
O ky Nick, where are you going to start?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Going down to the hospital for a talk with Johnny Mecklin. Johnny,
I want to know where you got that gun.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Ah, go fly a kite.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Now listen, Johnny, the man who soldier that gun is
as much responsible for the jam you're in as you are,
and I.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Want to know his name. Go scrab You know I
can trace the gun like one your can rein no
number on it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I said, I can trace the gun, and I can,
and I can get the man who processed it and
sold it to you, And you can save.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Me a lot of time. If you'll answer my questions.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It'll make things easier for you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Johnny, you can't trace that rodd, and you know it.
You're bluff you think, So let's have the lab kit, Bessie.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Hi, you hear, Nick?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You see, Johnny, the serial numbers I stamped into the
metal of a gun, and I stamped with a lot
of pressure. But even if someone very carefully removes those
numbers with a file and acid, they can't change one thing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What, for instance, the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Fact that the stamp has hit the metal so hard
it's permanently changed the crystalline structure of the metal.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Woo, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean that I can drop some of this chemical
reagent and the gun where the serial number was originally
like this, I'm watching and you'll see the original serial
number of a gun, your gun showing up fuzzy but
distinct enough to read.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You mean, see why two eight, four three seven.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
For the love of them, so we lie to me
the dirty, lousy, crooky light to me? Oh is it
Johnny pop garat over on tenth Davy the Girard hardware store.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Go get him, mister Carter.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm gonna Brady, Brady, Nick, I've located the man who
saw Johnny mcklin his gun is a man named Gerard
who runs a hardware store on tenth Avenue. But I've
got a hunch, Girard's only the salesman. I want the
manufacturers going over there and place in order for guns
big enough to stir things up. And when I order
(07:01):
'em in my best gangster voice, it's gonna start things popping.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I hope.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yo, Gerard, ain'ts me, mister, I got two hundred bucks
for you.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Two hunt right here. Fred and Johnny sent their regards
with the dough. Fredd and Johnny SMI, you get it.
They pulled a nice job last night, but they figured
it'd be safer maybe the lamb out of town, so
they sent me with the dough.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
What's your name, mister Kane? Nels Kane from Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
You don't know me, Well, I'm much obliged, mister King.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Listen, Gerard, I like the way you did business with
the kids, so I figure maybe you and me can
make a deal. Yuh how much for forty belly guns?
Thirty eight's fogie and maybe a Thompson gun too, Mister King,
it's one big order. Well, I run one big organization
in Saint Louis.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Well, I'll see what I can do, mister Kane. Unfortunately
I can't let you know right away. I suppose you
could come back this afternoon at three, and I am
sure we can do business together and find mister Kane.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Real fine, I see, I think we're in Mister Roger Manny, No,
my hunt was right.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's just a salesman. So I give him a big
order my best gangster dialect. And he said he had
to find out whether mister manufacturer had enough stock to
supply me. And I'll get to the manufacturer through Gerard
this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Uh huh, oh, golly, I forgot Brady called ten minutes ago.
He said, you asked him to keep the story quiet.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I did well.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
One of the police reporters got hold of the boys'
names for the l and they'll be in the paper tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh make if.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Mister Manufacturer sys that your case is shot.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's no lie.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
What do you do now?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I only know I've gotta find out who's supplying the
underworld with guns. Now for my next question, how old
is your firm? Mister Valance, Rodney Valence Incorporated is seventy
five years old. I'm the third Rodney Valance to head
(09:27):
this old and respected firm as firemaster firemaster. What's that
the firemaster invens and creates the new types of fireworks
that are manufactured each year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Oh that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Indeed, yes, Linden, it's a gerard to see you. That
is urgent, very old, my dear. If you would excuse
me a moment, mister till that's all right, mister Valence,
I'll wait here. Well, Jared, I think we got a
new customer, mister Valence, and come to us through with
Johnny Macklin, who was sent to us by one of
(09:58):
my best customers.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Who is he?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Man named Keane nels Kane from Saint Louis wants forty
guns in the townsen.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Forty Yeah, quite an order, eh.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Eh, There's just one thing, mister Valens. Eh, I uh
don't know this nels Kin. Never seen him before, never
even heard of him. And we must be careful as
always and check the fires Lindham.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yes, mister Ballance, eh.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Knowing by the name of nels Caine. Listen here, mister Ballance.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Nevertheless, such an order is rather too large to throw
away on mere suspicion. Eh, It's the way I feel,
mister Vanley's I'll tell you tried real arrange to test
the gentleman's integrity this afternoon. It'll be atl test, but
it's very affective. Well, now the Johnny and Fred's names
(10:52):
will be in the newspapers, and Balance is already suspicious
of his new customer. It looks as though Nick Carter
may be up against a tough problem. We'll see how
he meets this challenge. In just a moment, I'll back
to the case of the two Faced Firemaster. Today's adventure
with Nick Carter brought to you by new post war
(11:15):
old Dutch Cleanser. While the past hour, Nick has been
engaged in his favorite pastime while thinking, he's throwing.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Darts at the target set up in his office.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Finally, however, Patsy just can't stand not being talked to
any launder.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Nick, haven't you thought of anything yet, Patsy, I guess
I'll just have to go ahead and take a chance.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Maybe Gerard and mister Manufacturer won't see the whold up
story in the paper until it's too late.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Maybe in the meantime I have a plan and they help.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, tell Walter to pick up Scubby and fly out
to Boonetown at once.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Okay, bo, what for.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Had to carry thorny identification with him identifying them as
Johnny Macklin and friend, and then out in Boonetown that
it creates some wild fuss that'll get them picked up
by the local police, something that'll make a big splash
in the newspapers. And it's got to be so big
that the local papers here will be sure.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
To pick it up.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Well, what should they do?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I want you to give Waldo five hundred dollars and
tell him he's to hold up a bank and put
the money in the bank.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Save, hold up.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
A bank and put the money in the bank safe.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Yes, Oh, that'll make the headlines all right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Naturally, I want you to make arrangements to have the
bank cooperate.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Well, I should hope so on the quiet of court.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Check the meantime, I've got a three o'clock date for Gerard,
and I hope he.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Doesn't have a newspaper with him.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
All right, Peterson, we've arrived.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
What time is it, Lindallas?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Very good, you'll understand your instructions, Peterson, I think so
much the violence Jord has told this kne person to
meet me alongside the trolley power station at half past three.
But you will meet him and of course pretend that
you are the key man in this deal.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yes, sir, so you will also carry this bag.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Okay, there's a Thompson gun in it which you will
offer as a sample. I see and uh if this
cane proves to be a coup or something, trust me, Peterson,
trust me. Okay, mister Valence, and I'll be off with you.
You mustn't keep us kne meeting. Been waiting long, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Huh ah, yeah here I say, no, I know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Uh, I'm a little late. Sorry, you're a big boy.
That's right, brother. Oh, I had you carry the ball?
What do you mean I am a stranger in town?
Miss then I'm not taking no chances. You wanna do
business with me, go ahead and talk. Okay, okay, touchy,
ain't you? I got a sample here to show you now. Uh,
(14:01):
this here is Thompson special. It's a rebuilt You have
no identification.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Got crazy, but he's the guy you have anyway, a baby,
you're trying to set up a pinch for me.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
For you, I wanna beat your head in.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
You know, no better than a flash of Thompson gun
up and the opening where a hundred people can see
us see you get on your feet, bunk, take that
bag and get out of here. But I taught you
I don't do business with you. You're a big boy in
this deal, and I'm the king of Siam.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Hey, Gerard, I want a couple of hoofs. Hey, what's
the idea sending up much? Have them beat me the
power station.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm right in, mister Kane. Oh you the name is Valance,
Rodney Valance.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
This is Linda.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
How do you do? Mister Kaye?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Hi need to shake your hands, sir. You positively thrashed
poor peaches.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
He had it coming, mister Kane. He was clumsy.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Hey, I'm beginning to get it. Yeah, the big it's great.
So he sent that mug to try me out.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
We have to be careful, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Now to get down to business. You spoke of forty
revolvers and Thompson gun.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The price will be five thousand dollars on delivery.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
All firearms are guaranteed to be in the best working
condition and wanted free of all identification marks.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Okay, enterprise is all right? Where's this stuff?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And let my plant?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Naturally, you couldn't expect me to carry all that around
with me?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
All right? How do I get to the plant?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
We will take you there this evening, mister Kane.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Suppose we pick you up in front of your shop
at say seven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's I think I've been waiting for you, and he luck.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
This time, I'd finally located our manufacturer. Who isy a
man named Rodney Valance. I dropped off to check him
on the way home. He runs Rodney Valance Incorporated, a
firm that manufactures fireworks.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Firecrackers, skyrockets and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
That's right, Rodney's what they call the firemaster, the man
who designs the fireworks, but it so happens he also
designs firearms for criminal use.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
To Nick, if you met him, why didn't you grab them?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Didn't want to out until I've located his plant. He's
going to take me there tonight, had seven good get
hold of Sergeant Brady for me, will you. I want
to make a few plans, right, and let's hope that
Rodney Valance doesn't read the wrong newspaper between now and
then he does.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
You may have to start looking for a new boss.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Linda.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Linda's six forty five. Time to be on our way,
mister Vallance. We've a busy night before it is, Linda,
there's mister Caine to be taken care of, and Linda,
it's the matter.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Mister Vallence.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Gerard said Caine was a friend of Johnny Macklin's.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Didn't he quite right?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Johnny gave him the money to pay for his guns
before he left town.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Oh, Johnny didn't leave town.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
What's that?
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Johnny didn't pull off that job last night? Fred was
killed and Johnny was caught me see that paper there.
Johnny was caught by Nick Carter.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Nick Carter where.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Thank you, Linda, You're a treasure, although I don't think
mister Nail's cane Carter will think so after we've finished
with him.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Tonight, and.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Swiftly, Rodley Vallance and Linda leave for their appointment with Nick,
who waits in front of Gerard's store.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We'll see what happens next in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And now for the conclusion of the case of the
Two Faced Firemaster, Today's adventure with Nick Carter robbed you
by new postwar old Dutch Glenser. It's ten minutes after seven.
A long black sedan has just pulled up before Gerard
Shop on Tenth Avenue, and Nick Carter the collar has
overcoat up close around his neck has jumped in swiftly
the sdamn starts is drived through the city.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
H sorry to have kept you waiting, mister Kane. I
hope you.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Forgive me yanks.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Sure, and that's okay. You know just why I come here.

the goofiest gems. You read what they did at in
Boomtown today boom Town, Yes, that's right, see.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
On the paper. Read it to me, Linda.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now, then on a light.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Fact, two thieves identified as Johnny Macklin and Fred Gummer
attempted to rob the Boomtown bank this afternoon, but for
some unknown reason, made the mistake of depositing five hundred
dollars instead of taking any money they mister.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Vallance, Yes, I heard.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Very interesting, isn't it. And we'll go into it after
we get to the plant. Hey, what's the matter of violence,
Nothing at all, mister Kane. Just a little problem of
conflicting newspaper stories.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
We'll have to settle.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Hey, it shouldn't bother you, now, mister.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Kane, Okay, don't bother me.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But there's one thing I do, eh you've been driving
his car on the streets like you and eel.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I don't like it. We're going to your planners.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It's a come on, merely your precaution to shake off
anyone who might be tailings, mister Keane.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
That you already tested me once. Wasn't that enough?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I am a careful man, mister Keane, so am I,
especially with five grand on me.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Now, look, we're at fifth and a grand erect. We
was being tailed. We had no more.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So now either way head straight for your place or
I get out. Well, I still got my dough.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
We're going there directly, mister Kane.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Alright, So where is it?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It can't do any harm to tell you now, mister Kane.
It's alongside the river at First Street. It's the Valence
powder House where most people imagine our uh fireworks are manufactured.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The Valence Powder House at First three. Right, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
We're on the level with you, mister Kane.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
But in five minutes we're going to ask you a
more serious question. Are you on the level with us?
He here you are. Will you get out lit yes,
(20:10):
mister Bell now you, mister King, sure, balance shouldn't let
me help the lady out first.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Though, he don't move, mister King, don't raise your voice.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Please, I won't, sister, not put a gun on my back.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Mister Kane. I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Up until the time you got into our car, I
was positive you and Nick Carter, Nick Carter.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Joker.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
A certain item in the paper made us think so.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
But you showed us another story that seems to confuse
the issue. To put it plainly, if Johnny and Fred
are really in Boomtown, your nail's Kane. But if they
were captured last night in this city, you're Nick carteron.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Look, if you think you.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Walk into the warehouse, mister Kane or Carter, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
And you'll wait here until we can check the conflicting
newspaper stories. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yes, if your nails.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Kane, you will leave with forty revolvers in the Thompson
guns and apology.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
If you're Nick.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Carter, you leave with the bullet in your heart. Okay,
be careful, Linda, I opened the door, I mean, mister Kane.
On mister Carter, Okay, all right, Valance, let's rage what
I to sister?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
And you've got a gun.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm gonna use it too, Ready to keep place?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Coming out and grab the girl?
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Do you think, mister.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Track keep your hands up?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Found?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Okay, Linda? Do you want to play round?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Nick?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Think you all right?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'm alright ready and have a second album?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Rap that gun?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
That's better? You both covering?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Ready?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Right, I'll got the gun. Okay, that's that. Did you
get your ride in Peterson back at the store?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Here?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It did?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
And let's wrap up this case and go home. Well,
mister Vallance.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Look, Carter, if you think, I don't think, mister Vallance,
I know this is the beginning of a long and
profitable relationship between you and a prison cell.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Nick, I don't get it. What, Patsy, when you got
into Valance's car, did you know where his plant was?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No? I didn't have the slightest idea.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
And how come Brady was waiting for you inside the plant?
You said, Valence shook off anybody who could possibly be
tailing you?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Mmmm, Patsy. A great many new devices were developed during
the war. One of them is a very compact radio transmitter,
small enough to go into a large pocket.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Oh then that's.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Why you wore your overcoat, That's why.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And that's also why I turned up the collar so
that Balance and Linda wouldn't see the throat microphone I
was wearing underneath.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Oh well, I'll be darned. All Brady had to do
was listen to what you said to Valence.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
That's right. I said. It was simple, didn't I. That's
how he happened to be waiting for us.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
And that's in that case.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Oh no, no, no, not quite.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
So what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
And say, where are we going?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Oh, Patsy, don't tell me you've forgotten all about Waldo
and Scubby.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Why?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Nick, They're still in Broomtown, in jail, and that's where
we're headed.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Of course, after.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
All, when they pulled off that crazy stunt of theirs,
and confused Balance of Linda gave you that extra five
minutes and neated in order to save my life.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yet I guess the least you can do is to
get them out of jail.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
