In this episode, JC Rede concludes the exciting Nick Carter mystery, The Mask of Death, and discusses the impact of Street and Smith's Detective Story Magazine on the development of detective fiction in the early 20th century. Patsy Garvin's investigation leads him to Jim Margate's place, where he overhears a conversation between Margate, Bob Pittman, and Mortimer Deland. Deland reveals himself to be the mastermind behind the crime and boasts about his abilities to outsmart the police. Additionally, Patsy Garvin follows the Rascals to uncover their destination and hides under the wagon to avoid detection. In the new context, Nick Carter suspects that the stolen Strickland treasures may be entombed in the old cemetery at Colonel Barker's place. He visits the Sexton of the cemetery, Jason Dexter, and learns that Deland had asked to use the Barker tomb to store a body for a few days. Nick's suspicion is aroused, and he investigates further, setting the stage for the final showdown in the next episode.
