Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie Kay, and it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you Nick Carter Master Detective, episode titled The Body on the Slap,

originally aired November 3rd, 1943, where Nick Carter investigates the case of a husband who disappeared at a bar and finds a sinister conspiracy. So sit back and relax, and I hope you

enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio. Thank you for listening.

What's the matter? What is it?

Another case for Nick Carter. Master Detective!

Yes, it's another case for that most famous of all manhunters,

the detective whose ability at solving crime is unequaled in the history of detective fiction,

Nick Carter, Master Detective.

Tonight's curious adventure,

The Body on the Slap.

For Nick Carter and the mystery of the missing husband.

But Mr. Wallace, people disappear every day in a big city like this.

Such things are really no concern of mine.

They're a matter for the police.

But Mr. Carter, it isn't just anybody who's disappeared.

It's my husband.

I'll pay you anything to find him.

Well, I suppose it can do no harm to listen to the story. All right, Mr. Burnett. Where was the last place you saw him? It was sort of saloon gambling house on West Street down by the waterfront. A two-story house. A very run down. Wait a minute, Burnett. That wouldn't be the place that's run by a one-legged soldier they call Bill. Oh, so you know it, do you?

Certainly do. By reputation, at least. Here, I want you to look at this picture. You recognize it? Yes, that's the place I'm talking about. I thought so. Mrs. Wallace, I'll take the case. Oh, Mr. Carter, I knew you would. Yes, I have a score to settle with that old rat with a wooden leg.

And this may be my chance to do it. I'll take the case. Oh, Mr. Carter, I knew you would. Yes, I have a score to settle with that old rat with a wooden leg.
