Nick what's all this about poisoned eggs very simple chickens are funny birds What they eat goes into the eggs they lay the essence of a chicken eats moth balls its eggs smell of campfire No kidding back now somewhere in the country There are some chickens that have been drinking water polluted with nitroglycerin What's that the eggs Waldo had for breakfast had traces of nitroglycerin in them. So Might have been an accident but when I found an obvious thug posing as a grocer in the store where the eggs are bought I knew it was something else Somewhere Maddie up in the farming country. There's a crooked plant manufacturing supplies for criminals Boat like nitroglycerin for blasting safes conifered money probably everything that a crook can't buy legitimately Holy smoke and these polluted eggs are the giveaway to the plan right Some of the nitro must have seeped out accidentally and polluted the water in a brook or something that run through a chicken farm nearby Well, I'll be darned. That's why I had to hold on to that thug without tipping my hand. You've got to lead us to that place Well, what's the pull motor stopping for Maddie? That man was practically dead when we found him, but he's alive now you saved him good Waldo Can I question him?

No, hoping I've been checking the dust from Tyler's pockets. What outside of ordinary dust found almost everywhere I've found smelter dust flower dust and particles of dry hay all in the deepest layers That means Tyler's been living in a farming vicinity that also has an iron foundry and flour mill somewhere near Give me that industrial map although right Nick Carter speaking Nick Patsy. I've just finished searching bleakest store. Yes. It's no good Nick every egg crate in the place Has been destroyed not one left anywhere Wait a minute Yeah This must be it Nick what on earth are you talking about I've been checking my industrial map while you were reporting Patsy Oh Matty, there's only one town on the near vicinity. That's a farming center It at the same time has a flower mill and an iron foundry. That's Brickton Brickton. That must be the place Tyler came Oh, you're well pretty soon. Hurry back to the office Patsy. You all to one eye are driving up to Brickton right away Brickton a half mile Nick. That's what the sign said. I remember We stay undercover in this town. That's a sheriff in here that hates the very side of me Did you have a run in with him before Nick? Yeah on the Joplin case last year But it was it was a run in with her. Oh a lady sheriff like in Texas a Truffle in Texas Sheriff Moss Stigney is convinced I double crossed her last year. She'll do everything she can to have struck me now So we stay undercover all right now look when we get into Brickton you and Waldo each rent a car Yeah, I've divided Brickton into three areas each one of us covers one of the area. Uh, here's the town line Nick Uh-huh. How each of us visits every farm in our area and ask the farm owners if they deliver eggs to Bleak her in New York. Yeah, but we just some of them farmers might not answer Nick Well, here are two one hundred dollar bills you and Patsy each take one. Huh? You meet a close mouth farmer tell him this hundred dollar bill was found in a crate of eggs delivered to bleaker He can collect if he has records proving deliveries of yesterday. Well, that ought to work Oh slow down Nick. We're passing a rent a car garage. Oh run by the terrible Moss Stigney All right Go ahead each of you run a car and we'll meet back here six o'clock tonight. Good luck Well, well, well, this is farm number three for Detective Waldo McGlynn to examine with his Pearson eyes Wilson's farm maybe we'll have better luck with this one here. It's a farmer. It's a farmer at time going to be questioned Very pretty too in them pants. Just a minute there young lady. Yes. How would you like to earn one hundred? It's the health inspector. Oh I've seen you before haven't I and bleaker's grocery this morning. Well, ma'am. I you're the famous Waldo McGlynn, aren't you? Nick Carter's great assistant. You got the right man, ma'am But it's a secret Nobody's supposed to know that me and Nick is up here. Mr. McGlynn. I'm certainly glad to see you It's about those eggs the bad eggs. Oh, you found them there. Yes, they're they're here on this farm I need your help. Mr. McGlynn. I'm only a weak woman and you Waldo McGlynn's the right man for you, ma'am. Where are them bad eggs? There's a building back at this farm up this road a little I'll show you good. Does mr. Carter know you're here No, ma'am. Waldo McGlynn works alone. Good. Now. What's the layout here, ma'am? You see that house there right along the chicken yard. Yep There's some men live there. They rented it from Wilson. They pretend to be scientists doing research But they I know I know they're crooks, ma'am. They're making dynamite and burglar tools for more crooks Well in some way the nitroglycerin they're making got into the chicken's drinking water and painted the egg I've already deduced that myself, ma'am. So this morning when the eggs were delivered to bleaker's grocery in New York Bleecker called farmer Wilson on the telephone and complained Wilson asked the crooks about it because he thought they were scientists. He couldn't understand it Uh-huh, and the crooks realized that the painted eggs might lead the police up here to their factory So when they learned that all the eggs in this particular shipment went to bleakers They rushed down to the city and tried to cover up by closing bleaker's mouth and paying off all the customers who came Back to the grocery to complain. Yeah, sure They even had a woman pose as a health inspector to make it look legitimate But ma'am you come into the house, mr. McGlynn the crooks aren't here now Hey, ma'am. You you were the health inspector. Yes, mr. McGlynn. I was Janet who's the character with the world of spinach? Nosey little man works for Nick Carter. Hey, you stand still McGlynn and don't reach for that rudder I'll blow your wide open. You're in cahoots with them. Shut up Bindle. Yeah, Carter's in town. You have to drop everything and take care of him. You'll never harm Nick Carter No, no grandpa Fendle, tell the boys to get ready. You can tie up this character in the meantime. Okay. Oh, I forgot to tell you I had to kill Eddie Tyler in town. It turned out to be a nuisance What time is it Betsy 630 Nick We're in blazes is Walter should have been here at 6. Maybe he located the farm Yeah, he's probably there now blasting away with that old 44 years guns of bigger menace to Waldo than the underworld Well, that's that health inspector from New York Sheriff Stigney the most amazing thing just happened to me. Oh, I'm sorry I thought Sheriff Stigney was in this car. You want help. I'll be glad to give it to you I'm Nick Carter. Not the Nick Carter. Well, I'm Janet steel a health inspector from New York I was up here investigating a shipment of bad eggs. Why did you say just happened to you miss steel? Oh, it's the strangest thing. I found a car parked out on the road It's one that Sheriff Stigney rents and and guess what was stuck in the windshield half of a hundred dollar bill And what road where just outside Wilson's farm? It was near a large white building alongside the chicken yards chicken yards Nick That's it. Yes, Patsy. Come on. Let's get out there fast The heavy roadster surges forward as Nick and Patsy drive into what is apparently a cleverly baited trap We'll see whether or not the jaws of the trap close on them in just a moment And now for the conclusion of the case of the chemical chickens today's Nick Carter adventure brought to you by Old Dutch It's seven o'clock the night is pitch-black Alongside the White House behind farmer Wilson's chicken yard five men and a woman wait tensely watching the turnpike roads You ought to be along any minute then I took the shortcut.

He'll be along This is what we do Bindle when he comes Wilson in looking for grandpa We knock him and the girl cold We take the three of them over to the covered bridge and drive them in the car into the river big accident Hold it Bindle. Listen It's car. It's Carter. I know that car get set everybody when I give the word give him the lights and show They're covered looks like Carter and the girl All right, Bindle now.

I charge the light taught me gets a head full of slugs Your racket's finished Janet you want to know why ask your lawyer? You'll be seeing a lot of him while you're trying to beat a murder at I got a hand it to you. You're all right for a New York detective Lay in the whole case in my lap the way you did was my kid generous Nick boy. I got to apologize Failed me mission. Just when I had this whole mystery solved. I made one little One little slip you walked right into a trap with your eyes wide open you in your forty-four Just one thing Carter How do you know that story of Janice was phony when she tried to trap you and miss Bowen? Well, she has taken a three things before I came out here I checked up and couldn't find any record of an inspector on the health department staff named Janet steel That was the first thing Then I didn't like the idea of a health inspector working up here in Brickton. It sounded phony She wouldn't have any jurisdiction up here She sure wasn't but the slip that gelled everything for me was when she claimed to recognize Waldo's car as one of the cars that you rented for a stranger in Brickton It was obviously impossible for her to know that So I pretended to fall into the trap and that's all I had done it in great style Nick boy When you showed up on that roof with a tummy gun in your hands. He was old sim Carter all over again None of that fancy deduction stuff knows her bullets and action Nick take Waldo McGlynn's word for it You will be a detective yet Well Nick what about the adventure old Dutch cleanser will bring us next week before I answer that Bob I I wish to remind our listeners that national boys club week begins tomorrow and as you know sponsoring a boys club of my own I'm particularly interested in this fine work, which is combating juvenile delinquency.
