Patsy, what's the idea of forming me here. What's up? Well, I Nick, you've got to come to the hotel right away, room four eleven and bring that box with you. Why, Patsy, what's the matter? I can't tell you, but but don't say anything to Chief Brodie. If you do, belt, I mean, I'd say something's wrong. What is

it? No, nothing's wrong. I'm Carnicks now, Nick Carter, Master detective and the case of the Perfect Alibi. It is midnight and the little upstate resort town of Lake Hillman, Chief Rody of the local police, stands beside a flashy, expensive sedan. Behind the wheel is a dark, heavy set man wearing a huge diamond on his left hand, his face disfigured by a jacket. Sky, So I ran through a red light? So what shaw? You get a ticket? Mister? Let's see your driver's license and

the car registration. Sure you fellers think you can come up here from the city and do just about anything you want. I aim to show you different. Yeah, Oh the license, give me it. Robert j. Hey, you ain't one of the Quean brothers. It's mixed up in all them rackets down the city. I am am, I sure you are. Remember last year when that brother of yours got sent to the elect picture for killing an officer. From what I hear, this, fellow Winston's gonna get you

and the other one before long too. Yeah, yes, and good riddance. I say you take my advice, mister. You'll get out of this town fast as soon as you've paid your fine. We don't put your kind around here nice and cozy, ain't it, mister Winston? Just you and me alone here in your apartment where we can talk without now body the bothers. I'm not afraid of that gun crane, and I'm not afraid of you. I'll say what you came to say and get out, sure, but

not for a while yet. There's any much if a dump for a big shot like you to live in the DA's office, don't pay the special prosecutor is so good? Huh. I'm satisfying you like working for glory, huh. I'm working for the satisfaction of wiping out such scum as Ukraine there isn racketeer. Yeah yeah, and making a big name for yourself too. You're on your big campaign to clean up the child crane. If you weren't scared, you wouldn't have come here tonight. But it won't do you any good.

I'll get you and the rest of your mob just as I got that gun. Crazy kid brother. That's what I come to talk about, mister Winston. My brother Johnny, he was a killer and he got what he deserved. The chair. Yeah, he sent Johnny to that chair just one year ago to night, just at midnight. Now. Do you know why I'm here? No? Why it's one minute to midnight now, mister Winston. When that fox starts to strike, I'm going to send you the same

place you sent my kid brother. You can't bluff me. Why Every cop and towel cops you know, and I think it cops. I'll show you. Pick up that phone if you want to go on call a cop, see if they can help you. What is this a trick? Go on call them all right. I will opera to give me the police quick. It's midnight, mister Winston. Hello, this is Special Prosecutor Winston. Send it Rocky. Hello, mister Winston, say hello to Johnny for me. Hello, Hello, this is Sarga Madison Homicide. Send out a call for

rocket cream suspicion of murder. Send a couple of boys to every one of those gambling houses he owns, and send a couple to his apartment. Notify the radio cars to watch out for a nineteen forty nine cattle accy down light gray and loaded down with chromium light. Yeah, oh oh yeah, don't he he's spending the weekend where Lake Kilman. Huh okay, I'll get in touch with the Lake Hilman police and have him bring him in. Backside, what's the idea of dragging me back to town in the middle of the night

like a look out? They win the rocky? It's morning now, the sun's coming up. Tell what what's the beef? Side? You were picked up just as you got out of your car in front of the Lake Hilman Hotel and exactly thirteen minutes to two. That's right. Where had you been just that for a little ride? Why, I'll say you've been out for a ride. You rode back here to the city, monked offline at Winston from the DA's office and they get somebody knocked off mister Winston. Well,

now, ain't that too bad? It's too bad for you, smart guy you hated when it's because he sent your brother to the chair. You swore you're getting for it. Did I sign? Yes? You did? Where you know it is? And Winston was making things hot for you now too. Another month Heather closed up every one of those gambling houses of yours and run you out of town. He couldn't have pro not that. I'm me sure. I'm glad he's dead, but I didn't do it. Look,

you can't lie out of this one. Rocky Winston call headquarters. Just before he was killed. He started to say your name. Besides, I wasn't anywhere near the city last night. Don't No, you're gonna have a tough time making the jury believe that. I'm sorry, it ain't gonna be tough at all. Take a look at this. What is it? It's a ticket for running through a red light in Lake Hillman, one hundred and fifty miles from here side. And look at the time on it, twelve o'clock

midnight, midnight. What well, that's the same time Winston was killed. Yeah, I know, I know, And that traffic ticket proves I was one hundred and fifty miles away when had happened. I try to break that alibi copper, just try it. Oh, I had to turn him loose. Nick there wasn't anything else I could do. And I suppose you checked for the Lake Hillman officer who gave him the ticket, Mandie, Well, of course I did. It was the chief of police himself. The chief

of police was directing traffic. Yeah, Patsy, you know how it is in those small towns. They've only got three men on the force, and on Saturday night all of them have to turn out to take care of the traffic. You're sure he isn't mistaken about who was in Rocky's car, Nick. He swears it was Rocky. He described him to me. Then I showed him pictures of Rocky and he swears it's the same guy. Well, just what you want me to do, Nick, Look, I got to

crack this case, and I got to have help. I'll bet anything. Rocky Crane bumped off Winston. No matter what kind of an alibi, he's gone. And I suppose the biggest clue you've got is the fact that Winston tried to speak his name when he called headquarters. That's it. We don't know that he was going to accuse Rocky shooting him. Well maybe not, Nick, But here is the clincher. Rocky knew that Winston was bumped off at midnight. Now, how did he know it unless he did the job

himself. I sure didn't tell him, But Maddie, that's not proof that you can take before a jury. Oh I know, Nick, I know, But somehow, some way, we'd got to get that proof, a sergeant, do you think Chief Rody could be lying? I don't know, Patsy, I'd hate to think it, but that's not what adn't get until we have exhausted every other possibility. How about Rocky's brother, Red? Didn't

you say he was at Lake Hillman too? Yeah, Nick, Chris's just as bad as Rocky, and he'd had the same mode of Rocky did for killing Winston. I'll you'll forget Patsy. It was Rocky's name, Winston tried to say on the phone. Yeah, and besides that, Red's got a better alibi than Rocky has. He is seen in the Lake Hillman Hotel about eleven o'clock and again at twelve thirty positive identification, And then maybe Red was

driving Rocky's car when Chief Rody gave him the ticket. Look, Patsy, Rocky was driving his own car when Rody picked him up just before too o'clock. Okay, Okay, I give up. I'm just the same matter. Your man can't be two places at the same time. Either you're wrong about Rocky. I'm not room Nick. I'll stake my life all right. Then something's wrong at the other end. Suppose Patsy and I'd drive up to Lake

Hilman and try to find out what it is. Even if we learn nothing, I'll enjoy a drive out in the country with an attractive girl and Patsy, you're particularly attractive today and that new lavender dress. Rocky cheap as. I'm glad to see you. I was afraid something gone wrong. They tell me Louis about two o'clock this afternoon, and then when you've been all this time. So after ten I went around at the club for a while. Get your stuff together ready, I want to pick up the old man.

Don't worry about him. I took care that little matter myself this morning. What sure after the cops picked you up, this town was buzzy. I thought, if the old boyhood and it didn't started putting two and two together, I thought, since one of you got brains enough to think, I said, we dumped them by the way back to the city, didn't, I, however, supposed to good wise, suppose you've gone to the cops.

Yeah, yeah, maybe you were right at that, Sure I was, so I had him meet me out at the edge of tom set my mind up, little print. What about his stuff stuff? Yeah, it's clothes and things. I guess they're still over with the crummy boarding house where he would staying. Why you mean you didn't have him take all this stuff with him when he left? No? Why make him think something was up yet? Dumb X Yes, stupid fat head at Jack. Take it easy,

Rocky. What's it cut there anyway? A couple of shirts, an extra pair of socks, mate, and the box the box bird brain, Rocky, I forgot about that. The cops ever find that box and hook the old man up with us, we're suck. I might have known you'd lose things up for me. I can get it back, Rocky. I can go up with there right now. Get Bob and listen, Red, Yeah, get everything else that belonged to him, everything I don't think he skipped his room, right, and beat it. But don't let nobody see

it. Ain't gonna see me. If they don't, they doll just make sure they don't talk about it. Make sure they don't never talk about that or anything else. I'm glad you're still in your office, Chief Brody. I was fraid i'd miss you. You're just lucky, mister Carter comes half past eleven at night. I'm generally home in bed. What's on your mind? A sergeant Matheson tells me you positively identified Rocky Crane as a man who gave a ticket to at midnight last night, Right, Carter, the Chief.

A sergeant is just as positive the Rocky Kane killed Winston. Not at midnight last night, he didn't. What makes the sergeant so sure it had to be Rocky? Well, Chief, the motive was revenge. Winston was killed exactly one year to the minute after Rocky's brother went to the electric chair for murdering a police officer. What bobble, don't you see? If it was revenge, Rocky would want to do it himself. Maddie swears that Winston even tried to give the police Rocky's name. Look here, Carter, I

hate crooks and killers as much as anybody. But at night last night, Rocky Crane was here in Lake Hillman, I sig him. I gave him a ticket for passing a red light in the corner of Main Announcy, And if asked that light precisely at twelve o'clock, That's what I said. I can't help feeling that summer I was using you for an alibi. Well, if hears have got to give him that alibi, I got no choice. Come in, Oh, mister Browdie. Didn't know you were busy, but

I was passing the courthouse and I saw the light. For pete sake, Emily Dawson, what are you doing out at this time of night and all the stuff like it was Halloween. I'm just coming home from the junior class play we gave Romeo and Juliet. I was the old nurse. You should have seen me, alas, alas my lady's dead. Oh well, a day boy, I remember now. I meant to get to the play myself, but have been so busy and miss Bowne, Mister Carter, this is

Emily Guard. Hello, Emily. I'm worried about mister Worthington. He's one of our boarders, the only one we've got this weekend, and I haven't seen him since right after breakfast. Well, after all, Emily is not quite eleven thirty yet. Maybe he went to a movie or even to your play, didn't He promised faithfully he'd come to the play, but he wasn't there, and he never goes to the movies. He told me so. Well, I still wouldn't worry Emily just because a grown man isn't home by

eleven girls. Oh, something's happened. How bet he's been hit by a car and he's lying in a ditch somewhere. His poor sightless eyes staring up at the cold blue sky. Really start back, and the show's over. He hasn't been home all day, not even for dinner. Well, there's still no reason to promised faithfully to come to the play to night. Now, Look, Emily, mister Carter and me have got important things to talk about. You run along home, forget about it. If you won't do

anything, I will. What can you do? I'm going to telephone the Crystal Club in the city and eshim to notify his faults. Crystal Club. Yes, it's a kind of a residential hotel, mister Carter. He told me your Crystal Club is in a residential hotel. Is a gambling house? Oh no, not only a gambling house. It's one of a chain that belonged to the Crane Brothers. The Crane Brothers, Carter, you know why he's up here in Lake Hillman at this particular time. If you think mister

Worthington is a gambler, you're wrong. He's an actor, an actor will he used to be. After we got to be friends. He showed me a scrapbook when he's played just about every kind of a part there is. I guess wait a minute, miss Dawson. Are you sure that mister Worthington didn't just pack up and skip out this morning? Of course, I'm sure. Well, I looked in his room after supper. Maybe he's come back home while you've been down here. Oh, mamma's there. You put phone

or an ass. We'll do better than that, Miss Dawson. We'll go and see for ourselves. Thanks for calling me up, Susan. I'll tell Emily how much you enjoyed the play. No, I'm all alone in the house now, but I expect her any minute. She was worried about our new bordering. Oh, nothing important. You know how excitable Emily is. Yes, i'll tell you about it tomorrow. By Susan. I wonder if I should have waited and come home with Emily. She may have run.

Let's say, Oh, that must be mister Worthington. Mister Worthington, that's funny. I'm betta go see if he's all right. I'm sure that noise came from his room. Are you in your room, mister Worthington. Mister Worthington, you're not sick, are you? Mister? What the doctor says? Your mother's going to be all right, then why is she still unconscious? She has a slight concussion from that blow on the head, Emily. Not a few days, she'll be as good as ever. But why would

anyone want to hurt momma. I'm afraid we'll have to blame your friend, mister Worthington, Emily, Mister Worthington, I don't believe it, But don't you see, Darling, he had some connection with those rackets. He's such a nice old man. Oh, Patsy, I'm more inclined to think that it was someone else, someone who came here for his belongings, one of the Crane brothers maybe. And when missus Dawson walked into the room, he sucked her and got away, and Worthington must have had something in his room

that would incriminate them, some piece of evidence. Well, if he did, it's not there now. Everything that belonged to him is gone. Well, everything that was in the room is gone. I have his makeup box, you do, yes, sir. Mister Worthington was just wonderful with makeup, and he promised he'd fixed me up to look like an old lady for the class plate at night. But he didn't come home. So I well, I went up to his room and got it. Where is it,

Emily, right over here on the man's room. Oh. I wouldn't have kept it or anything like that. I just wanted to let me see the box play. Oh, yes, sir, I know mister Worthington wouldn't have minded my using it. He told me that anyway. I'm not blaming it for the box. I'm glad you did. Let's see what's in here. Looks just like every other makeup box, doesn't It? A lot of old dirty sticks of grease paint. But everything isn't told Pensy, here's a brand

new bottle of clodion and a new bottle of spirit. Go oh who the spirit gum is what they used for sticking on false beards false mustaches too, And Clodeon makes an excellent artificial scar. An artificial scar. Then maybe it wasn't Rocky the Chief Roody gave the traffic ticket to. After all, Maybe it was mister Worthington made up to look like him. It could be. It's only a dim lighte from the dashboard on his face. It wouldn't be hard to get away with a disguise. No, Emily, tell me,

is mister Worthington a heavy set man with a deep voice. Oh no, No, mister Cardy's little and skinny. It's got a high sort of cluck sounding for man like that. Could never impersonate Rocky Crane, not with all the makeup in the world. No, but I know who? Could you do? Actually get us a couple of rooms at the hotel? We won't be going back to the city tonight, all right, Nick, But what are we staying here for? I'm going back to see Chief Rody. I've

got a nice new idea I want to test out. Hi, you dumb jerk. The one thing you should have gotten is the one thing I leave there. I tell you rocket that Bucks wasn't in this room? Then why didn't you search the rest to the house. I would have, But right after I slugged the old lady, I heard Cotter and the two games coming in. I'd have beat it out the window at Carter did find the box ashore that I told you tonight. I hung around outside to see what was

going to happen. After bout an hour, Carter came out with the box under his arm. I've seen it plain under the street lag. Okay, okay, So he's got the box, so maybe he'll even figure out how we worked it. But that's still ain't proof. Read sure it ain't Rocky dumb police chiefs, for he was given me a ticket at midnight, and a smart lawyer can tie him and knots if he tried to take it back in spite of what Hey, wait a minute, what, Rocky, You

didn't touch none of that stuff in the box, did you? There ain't nothing there that might have your fingerprints on it? Is there? Well, come on, come on it touch anything out, don't you. Well? The old man had to make me up in the carner a couple of times. I had a whole things for him, yes, stupid Rocky. What's the matter, what's the idea? Sucking me? Like? Oh, I get done? You give him everything they want. You give them all the proof they need to send us both of the chair. We get the bucks

back, How can we get it back home? That jingis well, I hate that girl. It works for Carna? What about her? She's right here in this hotel. Choose at the desk, sign up for room when I come in. Look, well we call it hold. Maybe I got signed Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just might work. It's got to you see, I ain't always so dumb. Get on that phone, Red, find out what room Jai Rocky done? What huh? Over? Mind you get a room number. I'll take care of the rest. Well,

well, yes, caught. It was kind of dark inside that cow when I gave Rocky that ticket. I could have been Red Cran made up to look like Rocky, couldn't it a difference in height wouldn't show with him sitting behind the wheel, and they both have the same type of face, big

and beefy. Yes, I guess it could have been if he had some kind of black dye on that red hair, not die mascara, something that he could wash out quickly, and as a big cake of mascara on this makeup box and it's almost used up, yes, and with paint on his face to give him a dark complexion like Rockies, and a false mustache, and and that sca painted on with whatever it is Laudian professional actors use it

all the time, all right. So maybe it could have been Red instead of Rocky, But you don't have any proof that it was, not a bit of proof. That's why we have to find Worthington's body. If we can't prove that Rocky murdered Winston, perhaps we can prove that Red killed Worthington, that Rocky wasn't accessory. What makes you as sure anybody killed the old man? Oh? Why else would he have disappeared without taking his things with him? And besides, the only one who could tell what really happened,

the Crane boys would never be safe while Worthington was alive. Yes, yes, to see what you mean. But without having any idea where to look for him, it's going to be pretty hard finding the body, now, I don't think so they wanted us to think Worthington had run out. They'd hide the body where it wouldn't be likely to be found. Well, sure it might be too many places like that and you're here. No, I guess there ain't. But they can't do anything tonight so almost two am.

Well all right, morning will be all right. But yet every man, you can on the job. There's anyway, get at it. Bring the love up? Peace? What now? I want to get home, get to bed. They killed and police tasting Chief Brodie speaking Chief, this is this is Patsy Bowen. Oh hell homeless boone? May I is Nick Fair in just a minute? You got it? Oh? Thanks, yes, Patsy, what's up? Nick? I? You've got to come to the hotel right away, room four eleven and bring that makeup box with you.

Why, Patsy, what's the matter? I can't tell you, but don't say anything to Chief Rody. If you do, biltas say something's wrong? What is it? What is it? Nothing's wrong? But don't Patsy, what's wrong? Carter? Your pills a ghost? I don't know what's wrong. Let me have that makeup box for sure, but what for? I'm taking it over to the hotel. It's room for eleven and man Carter, what's the score? Rocket? Why's Patsy, sit down, Carter, put your gun away. I've got one too. You'll notice. What have you

done with her? Nothing yet? And she ain't here in the hotel, so I don't get any ideas where is she. I told you to sit down in that chair right across the table from you. I haven't. She's with Red. If you do what I tell you, to get him on the phone and he'll have her back here in five minutes. Not sit down, okay, And I'm keeping my gun pointed run at you built so what you will use it? Because if something happens to me, I can't make that phone call. It'll be too bad for the little lady. What do

you want? I want that makeup box under your ram I let your have much to let Petsy go right away? Yeah? Sure, sure, I hand over that box and put away that gun and leave you sitting there with a gun pointed at me or the way things are nowhere even I've got you covered and you've got me covered. But I got an ace. Now hold, I'll forget your girlfriend if I don't make that phone call in the next fifteen minutes. Right, you're going to make that call, Rocky. I'm

betting my life and Patsy's life. That you are afraid to shoot it up, you lose that bat wise guy. I just as soon die. This way is in the chair, and if I do, you go with me, not if I shoot first. Even if you shoot first. Look at the way I'm holding this rod propped against the table lamp, pointed straight at you. I've already pulled the trigger, Carter. The only thing that's keeping a hammer from fallen is my thoughts. So if you shoot me my thumb,

let's go with a hammer and you get a bullet. Not only that, the girl will too. Red's got his orders. Dozen lookers, though I have much choice, does it? Now? Got it? I'm holding all the ass, but I'm holding the joker. Rocket, Get away from that gun, rocket your shop. I am in the gun itself. Your hand's only numb from the shop. One bet you overlooked. Your gun was propped up and pointed at me. But my bullet knocked at a side and spoil your ring. Okay, but Red still got that girl. You're forgetting

that. I'm not forgetting anything. You're gonna get on that phone and call Red. No, I rather have me break your arm. Die you ain't making any call. Let her die, Let no clothes stop. Are you gonna make that call? Yeah? Yeah, let up on my arm right over here to the phone. You better make it sound confienced, old arms. Just a reminder. I'll go ahead. I remember one wrong. I won't try nothing. Okay, take up that phone the hell out desk, I mean Rome six nineteen or you were lying? She is here in the

hotel. Yeah, your breath for Red. Hello, Hello, Red, it's Rockey. Yeah, everything's fine, I got it. You can let her go now, don't I go with me? Don't I tie you? Tell him to come here alone. Red, get yourself out of my own fast. But let the dam go first. Yeah, right, make it fast. Let go my arm. Sure, Rug, I'm with you. Now. We have to get a reception arrange for your brother when he arrives.

And Nick, did they find mister Worthington's bunny? Oh? Yes, Maddie was in the old Stone quarry on the twenty feet of water, waited one with scrap. Yeah. But have you really got any proof that Red killed him by ballistics? Can prove that he was shot with Red's revolver. And I suppose Rocky will be convicted too as an accessory. So it doesn't matter whether or not you ever prove that he murdered Winston. Probably, but I think we can prove it. Yeah, Nick, Red's fingerprints were on

two of the sticks of grease paint and Worthington's makeup box. Those fingerprints are evidence that Worthington did a makeup job on Red. Uh huh, Well, after that, it won't be hard to convince a jury that Rocky's alibi isn't worth Nichol, How they ever fought up such an idea or Worthington was out of work with broke, Yeah, we took a job as porter at the

Crystal Club. Red found out he was an actor, and that started him thinking that Worthington's scale with makeup could be used to furnish Rocky with a perfect alibi. And the old man didn't even know he was mixed up in a murder plot. Oh, he was completely innocent. They told him they were going to play a practical joke on some friends of theirs. Well, just how did they work it, Nick, Well, the scheme worked like this, Maddie. Rocky took Red's car, drove to the city and killed Winston.

In the meantime, Red picked up Rocky's car, met Worthington, got made up to look like Rocky, then intentionally ran through that red light and got a ticket. Well, one thing I can understand is why Rocky allowed Winston to call the police just before he shot him. Well, that was part of his alibi. Rocky wanted the police to know the exact time Winston was murdered, because that was the exact time Red, disguised as Rocky, was getting the traffic to Yeah, but he even let Winston call out his

name. That was something Rocky didn't figure on. As soon as Winston identified himself, Rocky shot him, but Winston still had enough strength left to try to identify his killer. It was a brave man. I wish I could be like that. But you know, when I opened the door to my room and saw Red standing there with a gun, I just froze. I was scared to death. Oh, you weren't the only one, Passy. I had cold chills wondering if I was going to be in time to save

you. Well, at least all this may give Emily Dawson an idea for the next high school play. Yeah, what's that another one in mister Shakespeare's Little Masterpieces, the one called All's well that ends well? Oh no, thanks, Laura, not knife? Okay bye? Who is that, Patsy? Laura Bruce? She wanted me to go to a seance with it. Can you imagine me going to a stay once? Why not? Spirit mediums can do a wonderful things sometimes. Remember Madame Jayner, Oh that one.

You'll have to admit that she told her clients things nobody in the world could possibly have known, except it goes she certainly did. But the way she found out those things makes me shiver. I'll save your shivers for next week, Patsy, when we tell all about Madame Jayner and the Case of the Custom Made Corps. Nick Carter Master Detective is produced and directed by Jack McGregor and is copyrighted by Street and Smith Publications, Incorporated. One client I can

start as Nick. Charlotte Manson has featured as Patsy. Ed Latimer plays Matty. Others in the cast were Briana Rayburn, Ken Lynch, Maurice Taiplin, and Cameron Prudom. Today's script was written by Jim Parsons, with original music played by Henry Silvern. This program is fictional and any resemblance to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental. This is Bill Tarkin inviting you to be with us next week at this same time for the case of the Custom Made

Courts. Another adventure with Nick Carter, Master Detective. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System. This is Andrew J. Graham, author of the web surface series Oh and a Man and Wife. You're listening to the great Detectives of all time Radio Welcome back. Well, kind of an inverse mystery here, and a fairly solid It's worth noting that there are actually only three nineteen forty nine episodes of Nick Carter available. Of course, these are the very last

episode circulating of the series. It's kind of also seems to be an interesting shift in tone, and we've kind of heard this throughout the series. When the series really got started back in the early forties nineteen forty two forty three, you really heard Pat's see as the respected and valued eight. As the

years went on, she didn't come off quite as well. But in this episode you have Nick complimenting her and also her showing a dash of bravery in nineteen forty nine, so it's some interesting movement in the portrayal of Patsy Bowen. Well, that will actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with yours Juli Johnny Doler, and then join us back here again next

Thursday for another episode of Nick Carter.
