Nick Carter, Master Detective presents “The Slingshot Murders,” episode 153, originally broadcast October 15, 1944. Lon Clark stars as Nick Carter, with Helen Choate as Patsy Bowen, in a Mutual Broadcasting System mystery written by Jock MacGregor.
A young newsstand boy’s report of suspicious activity near a bank branch draws Carter into a dangerous payroll-robbery investigation. Wounded but undeterred, Nick follows an unusual slingshot clue through vacant storefronts and a nearby tenement, with help from Patsy Bowen and Lieutenant Riley. The story is also associated with the alternate subtitle “The Mystery of the Broken Window.”
Old Time Mystery Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
