This is Case closed, your hour of mystery and crime from the Golden Age of Radio every Wednesday at RelicRadio.com.

Our first story comes from Nick Carter Master Detective this week.

We'll hear the case of the clumsy forgeries from June 11, 1946.

After that, from December 13, 1946, we'll hear the Swamp Land Killer from This is Your FBI.

What's the matter? What is it? It's a case for Nick Carter, Master Detective.

Yes, it's the case of the clumsy forgeries.

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.

The... Nick, do we have much more to do on this report?

Not much, Patsy. Why?

Well, it's after five, and I have an appointment with my hairdresser at six.

Well, you make it all right. I'll see that you do.

Far be it for me to prevent you

for making yourself as beautiful as you can. Nick, what a thing to say. I was only joking, Patsy. Really? You're a fine-looking girl. Oh, Nick. Do you mean that? Well, yes, of course I do. Oh, that's the first personal compliment you've paid me in all the years I've been working for you.

I didn't know you ever noticed me, except as your assistant.

Uh-huh. The first personal compliment you've paid me in all the years I've been working for you. I didn't know you ever noticed me, except as your assistant. Oh, I notice a good many things I don't mention, Patsy. Oh, don't I know that by now? Well, I can... Oh, darn it. I bet I don't keep that date with a hairdresser after all.

Nick Carter's office, Patsy Bowen, speaking.

Is Nick there, Miss Bowen?

This is Dr. Bradford. Oh, yes, just a minute, doctor. Here, Nick, Dr. Bradford. Oh, thank. Hello, Doc. Where you've been keeping yourself all these months? I haven't seen you in a dog's aid. I know it, Nick. As the old story,

the shortage of doctors

Makes double work
