In this episode of the Nick Carter Detective Stories, we see Carter take on a new disguise in his quest to solve the crime at the Red Dragon Inn. He secures a typical tough look from a costumer and heads to Lem Samson's saloon, where he hopes to find some information about the case. 

Carter's plan involves waiting in the back room and observing everyone who enters the barroom. He's waiting for someone specific - Brockey Gann. Brockey is an old pal of Mugsey Donovan, a character that Carter is disguised as. 

When Brockey finally enters the saloon, he doesn't recognize Carter, thinking he's Mugsey. The two men engage in a conversation that reveals Brockey is involved in some kind of game. Carter tries to get more information, but Brockey is hesitant to talk in the barroom where they might be overheard. 

Eventually, Carter convinces Brockey to go to a quiet joint where they can talk in private. But before they leave, Brockey asks Carter where he was the previous night. Carter laughs, knowing he's getting closer to the truth. 

Listeners can't help but be drawn into the suspenseful atmosphere of the saloon as Carter and Brockey engage in a tense conversation. Will Carter finally get the information he needs to solve the case? Tune in to find out.

In this episode, Detective Carter receives a tip from Dora Ferris that points to Simeon Rich and Dick Darwin as suspects in a crime that took place on New Year's Eve. Dora offers to take Carter to her flat to inspect Darwin's clothing for clues, and they discover that Darwin has already left, taking all his belongings. However, Carter finds some papers on the floor that suggest Rich and Darwin may be implicated in the murder of Lawrence at the Red Dragon Inn. Specifically, a note written the day before New Year's indicates that Rich was at the Grand Central that afternoon, followed Lawrence downtown, and placed a party on his trail. 

Carter sees this note as an important piece of evidence, as it shows that Darwin and Rich had dined together at the Knickerbocker Cottage. He also believes that Darwin's hasty removal of his things from the flat could be an indication of guilt. Carter then asks Dora if she knows where Rich and his sister reside, which she does. He follows Darwin to a tenement on the east side of town and discovers that he had been looking for Lena Peters, a singer who had been wrongfully accused of a robbery and murder. 

Carter eventually tracks down Lena and clears her name. She reveals that her brother, Edward, had discovered the truth about the plot to falsely accuse Alfred Lawrence, and that he and his friend George Blanchard were both murdered under suspicious circumstances. Lena tells Carter that she had discovered a memorandum that Edward had written about Blanchard's confession and that it was her brother who left the signed documents in a package at the Red Dragon Inn. 

To keep Lena safe, Carter instructs her to stay at his mansion and conducts interviews with the waiter at the Knickerbocker Cottage, the messenger boy who delivered a message to two men matching the descriptions of Simeon Rich and Dick Darwin, and the bartender at McKeever's Saloon where Rich and Darwin met up with Brockey Gann, the man hired to murder Nick Carter! This episode is full of twists and turns as new clues are uncovered, and the investigation into Lawrence's murder takes on a new urgency.

In this episode, Nick Carter and Peter Wright finally discover the contents of the mysterious package left by Edward Peters. The package includes evidence proving that Alfred Lawrence was framed for a crime he didn't commit. However, the identity of Edward Peters remains a mystery, and Nick follows a lead to the second witness on the signed confession to find out more. Unfortunately, he learns that Peters was murdered before he could provide the evidence to the police.

One of the men, Simeon Rich, accused Alfred Lawrence of forgery, while the other, Richard Darwin, seems to know more about the mystery than he's letting on.

Nick decides to follow Darwin, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Nick and Peter heading towards danger.

In this episode, Nick Carter investigates the murder of an old man, who is later identified as Alfred Lawrence, a man who had been convicted of forgery and spent 10 years in State's Prison. However, Mr. Peter Wright, who identifies the body, believes Lawrence to be innocent, and Nick sets out to find the truth. 

With the help of Wright's information, Nick discovers that Lawrence's wife and child disappeared after his imprisonment, and that he left prison with only $10, not the wad of money that the barkeeper at the Red Dragon Inn claimed to have seen. 

Nick follows the trail to the old Lawrence home on Beach Street, the train depot where Lawrence arrived, and The Manhattan Safe Deposit Company, where Lawrence had been loaned $200. The manager of the company confirms that he knew Lawrence personally and believes he may have been framed. 

As Nick puzzles over the case, Wright tells him of a strange encounter he had with a young woman claiming to be Isabella Porter, who gave Wright a package with the name Edward Peters written on it. Wright initially denies receiving the package, but later reveals that he found it in his room at the Continental Hotel. 

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Nick opens the mysterious package, leaving listeners to wonder what clues it may hold in solving the case.
