Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostalgamic Mystery Radio.

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

For this episode, I bring you Nick Carter Master Detective, episode titled The Unwilling

Accomplice, originally aired January 29, 1944, where Lieutenant Riley tries to talk

Nick Carter into helping them on what he was certain was connected crimes. 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 manhunter's,

the detective whose ability at solving crime is unequed in the history of detective fiction.

Nick Carter, master detective.

Tonight's curious adventure, the unwilling accomplice.

Or Nick Carter and the mystery of the society burglar.

Hello, Lieutenant.

What's new and interesting?

Well, well, if it ain't my old friend Nicholas Carter,

him that used to be a detective.

Yeah, what do you mean? Used to be.

Sure, my boy tell me.

How does it feel to be old and retired? Oh, come now, Riley, I get it. A little peeve, because I've turned down those few cases you've offered me lately. It's not a few separate cases, Nick. It's all been the same gang, I'm sure of it. They're the slickest bunch this department's ever been up against. We need your help, Nick. Look at this. Came over the wire only this morning. Hmm. Another society, robber. Quite a hall. Yes, my boy. Quite a hall. $75,000 in gems right out of the vault. What do you say now, Nick? Well, I think you're right. Looks like the same hand in every job.

Well? Well, I suggest that for your criminal, you look for someone who's accepted in the homes of society. And there's just about the greatest safecracker in the country as well. Oh, thank you, Nick. That's a very great help, I'm sure. Oh, I'm sorry, Riley, but really I'm not interested. Did you know I don't take a case?

And that's...

What in the name?
