Add to a movie listChick Carter, Detective is a 1946 Columbia film serial. Columbia could not afford the rights to produce a Nick Carter serial so they made Chick Carter, Detective about his son instead. This was based on the radio series Chick Carter, Boy Detective. A Nick Carter series was being made by MGM.
In a "rather strange precedent" for a serial, the title character is rarely involved in the cliffhangers. For example, the first cliffhanger revolves around the reporter Rusty rather than Carter. The film starred Lyle Talbot as Chick Carter, Douglas Fowley as Rusty Farrell, Julie Gibson as Sherry Marvin, Pamela Blake as Ellen Dale, Eddie Acuff as Spud Warner, and Robert Elliott as Dan Rankin.
Synopsis
Detective Chick Carter (Lyle Talbot) finds himself in a complex case when Sherry Martin (Julie Gibson), a singer at the Century Club, reports the robbery of the famous Blue Diamond, owned by Joe Carney (Charles King), the owner of the nightclub. Joe planned the theft in order to pay a debt to Nick Pollo (George Meeker) with the $100,000 insurance money he would collect. Sherry double-crossed Joe by wearing an imitation one, while she threw the real one, hidden in a cotton snowball, the Nick during the floor show. But Spud Warner (Eddie Acuff), a newspaper photographer, there with newspaper reporter Rusty Farrell (Douglas Fowley), takes a snowball from her basket and Nick receives an empty one. The Blue Diamond disappears. Aided by a private investigator, Ellen Dale (Pamela Blake), Chick finds himself pitted against the criminals searching for the missing Blue Diamond.Actors

A timid insurance salesman Albert L. Tuttle (Jack Haley) visits eccentric millionaire Cyrus J. Rutherford, intent on selling him a $200,000 insurance deal. Instead he finds that Rutherford has recently died and his mansion is now full of relatives who are, according to the will, all bound to remain in the mansion until a glass-domed vault is constructed on the roof, to house the deceased millionaire who was an ardent follower of the stars. Tuttle is mistaken for a private detective sent to guard the body, and once the confusion is cleared up and the real detective fails to show, he is convinced by Rutherford's niece Carol Dunlap (Jean Parker) to remain and ensure that the body is not stolen. If the body should be buried any place other than the vault, the will states that recipients who would receive the largest request will receive the smallest, and vice versa. One of the recipients plans to reverse the will in their favor, hide the body and kill anyone who gets in their way. Unfortunately for mild-mannered Tuttle, he is directly in the way of the killer, and the rest of the conniving family.

Dans les années 1890, des chariots tirés par 20 mules transportent du borax dans l'enfer de la Vallée de la Mort. Mais les gisements s'épuisent et la Desert Borax Company est proche de la banqueroute et ne peut plus payer Skinner Bill Bragg et les autres conducteurs d'attelage. Comme il ne peut plus payer son loyer, Bill se voit refuser l'accès de sa chambre au saloon de Furnace Flat par la propriétaire, Josie Johnson. Jean, la jeune et jolie fille de Josie, s'ennuie à Furnace Flat et voudrait vivre à la ville, sans tenir compte du fait qu'elle est courtisée par Mitch, un des employés de la compagnie. Josie croit le moment venu lorsqu'arrive à Furnace Flat Stag Roper, qui persuade le président de la banque locale d'émettre de nouvelles actions de la compagnie dans l'espoir de découvrir une nouvelle veine de minerai. Lorsque Stag découvre que Bill a trouvé un sac plein de cristaux de borax près du corps déshydraté de Chuckwalla, un prospecteur qui est mort dans le désert, il le fait chanter, en menaçant de révéler qu'il est recherché pour meurtre sous le nom d'Ambrose Murphy. Bill accepte alors de partir le lendemain chercher la mine de Chuckwalla avec son éclaireur Piute Pete, mais ils y sont accueillis par des coups de feu tirés par Mitch, qui était associé au prospecteur. Mitch est blessé et Bill retourne en ville prévenir Stag de sa résistance. Pendant ce temps, Josie a découvert que Jean est sur le point de partir avec Stag et, après l'avoir enfermée dans sa chambre, elle ordonne à Stag de quitter la ville en le menaçant d'une arme. Mais il tire sur elle et part avec son associé Salters prendre possession de la mine de Mitch. Bill se sent responsable de ce qui est arrivé à Josie et part avec Pete à la poursuite de Stag dans le désert, où il trouve Mitch inconscient, laissé pour mort par Stag. Après des échanges de tir au cours desquels Pete et les chevaux sont tués, Bill abat Stag puis renvoie Mitch en ville sur sa propre mule, alors qu'il reste en arrière. Plus tard, Mitch est nommé vice-président de la compagnie et part à Los Angeles avec sa jeune épouse Josie, tandis que Bill apprend qu'il est amnistié depuis 8 ans.
