The Drums of Death

Nick Carter, master detective. Guess it's another case for that most famous of all man hunters, the detective whose ability at solving crime is unequal to the history of detective fiction. Nick Carter, master detective. Tonight's curious adventure, the drums of death, or Nick Carter and the mystery of the white witch doctor.

And so gentlemen, you will find in close the complete drills here on the criminal in question, Plus all the evidence needed for a conviction. You're very truly, et cetera. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Nick. Not so fast.

You're very truly. Okay, what now? What else do we have to take care of, Betsy? The only unfinished business I know of right now is this bunch of letters from that Mrs. Galli. Oh, yes. What was it this Mrs. Galli wanted me to do?

She's worried about her doctor, Nick, and she wants to consult you. No, let her consult another doctor, if she doesn't like the one she's got now. Throw her letters out, Patsy. Let's go celebrate having her old business all cleaned up.

Well, I wouldn't, Nick, except that the letter we got from her today throws a new light on her problem. Oh, what did she have to say today that was so vital? She says she's afraid of her doctor.

Afraid of him. Oh, hum. Well, Mrs. Galley's that old, wealthy doggy. I met at somebody's tea a few weeks ago, isn't she? Well, it's who she is, isn't she? She's probably a crotcher to your old hypochondriac whose hobby is doctors.

That isn't it. And now that she's seen every physician in town, she wants to start in collecting detectives. Hmm. Does she say why she's afraid of whatever doctors she's going to know? Yes, she does, Nick.
