Tworro Dutch Cleanser, famous for chasing dirt presents... Nick Carter, famous for chasing crime. Each week at this time, two great names are joined. As new post-Tworro Dutch Cleanser brings you one of the most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fiction.

Nick Carter, master detective. Well, Patsy, at last I know the name of the killer, how he murdered his victims, and why. Well, then let's go. Let's go where? Well, let's go arrest him, of course.

Not so fast, Betsy. There's still one slight hitch. Hitch, what is it? Well, I know all these things, but I can't prove it, I don't want them. And now, the case of the salesman of death.

Today's exciting adventure starring Lon Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you by new post-war old Dutch cleanser. As our story opens, Nick Carter is just completing a telephone conversation with a would-be client. I understand, Mrs. Gordon, but yes, but if you don't.

All right, Mrs. Gordon, I'll come out right away. That Betsy was the rich Mrs. Benjamin Gordon of Park Avenue on Newport. Oh, you mean the one who gives so much money to charity and is mixed up in East Bay Boys Club?

That's the one. Well, what's with her? Seems someone wrote her a threatening letter, so gets your hat. She's waiting for us. I've already got it, Nick, but, uh, just what do this mysterious someone threat Mrs. Gordon with anyway?

Apparently, someone is trying to kill her by prayer. From my deep powers, too great for the mind of mortal to know, I pray you grant the boon of death to the woman Mrs. Benjamin Gordon.

Oh, come in, Mr. Carter. Mrs. Gordon is expecting you. Thank you. I'm Albert Farmer, Mrs. Gordon Secretary. This is Ms. Bowen, my assistant.
