Phantom Raiders Page #3

Synopsis: A mysterious rash of cargo ship sinkings in Panama leads insurers Llewellyns of London to hire vacationer Nick Carter and his eccentric associate Bartholomew to investigate. Nick recognizes influential nightclub owner Al Taurez as a shady operator, but getting the goods on him depends on slick diversions involving the heavyweight champ of the Pacific Tuna Fleet, a Panamanian bombshell armed with American slang, a young couple in love and a whole raft of crooks and cutthroats.

Beeswax will you? What is it?

Ah, that's the bloodhound

spirit. Follow me.

Well Mr Carter... do you feel like

you'd like to take over the case?

Gentlemen, your offer is very flattering.

The view from that window is lovely.

I like everything about the

proposition except the bombs.

[ alarm clock ]

No need to be alarmed gentlemen.

Eleven-thirty. Feeding time for my bees.

Proceed Nick. You were about to

say you would accept the case.

I was about to say I

would not accept the case.

You won't accept it?

We thought from what you

said you intended to take it.

Well, I probably would except for one

thing. It would bite into my vacation.

Of course, I understand

how you feel about that.

One hates to spoil a vacation.

Especially when one was

going along as nicely as mine.

Give that check to Mr Ramsell.

Here you are... five thousand

dollars is a lot of money.

Let's beat it before

I get that idea too.

Well, goodbye sir.

Have a pleasant holiday.

It will be if she's still

there. Adis gentlemen.

SS Archos calling... SS Archos calling.

SS Archos calling.

SS Archos reporting. Hello Colon.

Just coming through the Gatun Lock. Notify

the Port Authorities we'll dock by seven.

Very good Mr Ramsell.

Very good Miss Barnes. Hello baby.

May I talk?

Yes, they are in conference.

Meet me when we've docked. Got

something important to tell you.

7 o'clock pier 14. I'll be there.

Have a good time in Honolulu?

Well... too busy thinking about you.

Flatterer... the Morris Line

lost another ship. The "Matlock".

What happened? The "Raider" get

her? That's what they say.

Hold on a second.

Don't let me interrupt. The conversation

was just getting interesting.

Hey, who's that? I

don't know. Signing off ..

The information desk is outside.

This is a private receiving room.

But the ship-to-shore phone

is not so private, is it.

Confidential messages

in person, Pier 14.

7 o'clock sharp.

Boo!

The Archos just reported

all's well and on schedule.

Fine. Thank you Cora.

The check please.

I've decided to take

the case gentlemen.

The uh... human angle interests me.

Well... that will be

splendid Mr Carter.

And I usually begin

by asking questions.

I'll be glad to tell you

anything you want to know.

I'll get to you later.

I'll start with Miss Barnes.

Very well, go ahead.

Tonight. At dinner.

Would 7 o'clock be alright for you?

I'm afraid not.

Okay, Posita at six.

Good day gentlemen.

Boo!

Cora.

You're not worried, are

you? No, why should I be?

Only I think he's got a lot of nerve.

Well?

Why did he change his mind?

That's what I'd like to know.

Hello. Let me speak

to Al Taurez please.

You're fools to take that ship out!
