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

Nick Carter, master detective! Right Nick, suppose he is the murderer. You can't prove it. There isn't a shred of evidence. That's what we've got to find, Patsy. And if the proof is anywhere at all, it's here in this apartment.

Well, there's a closet of something over here. Okay. You look in there while I go over these papers. Don't try to struggle, Miss Borne. This is a knife. I'm holding it your back. Now the case of the tattooed cobra.

Today's adventure starring Lon Clark as Nick Carter brought to you by new post-war old Dutch cleanser. Sergeant Matheson of the homicide squad is one of Nick's best friends, but it isn't a social call that brings Matic to the office this morning.

Hey Nick, you remember telling me last year that somebody wanted you to look for the air to the Bristol estate? Oh yes, Maddy. The administrator of the estate, Mr. Alvin Hammond called me in, but I didn't take the case.

And you know why, Sergeant? No. It meant a trip to Europe. And Nick didn't want to go, imagine. Oh, Patsy, you know I couldn't go at that time. Oh, for me. And Nick, Bristol's wife was a Polish girl, wasn't she?

Yeah, yeah she was. When she divorced him 20 years ago, she took their son back to Europe with her. And that's the last anybody ever heard of them. Oh, no, no, no, not quite Patsy.
