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.
