Nick Carter, a detective, is confident that James Nordeck committed a recent bank burglary. Inspector Mallory also points out that Nordeck has a daughter, Nancy, and shows Nordeck's criminal record. Nick informs Mallory that he was tipped off by his old friend Darby Moore about Nordeck's tendency to be cheated by his confederates. Inspector Mallory receives a curious letter, accompanied by a large sum of money, requesting a proper burial for a man presumed to be dead. Nick decides to cancel his visit to Harlem to investigate the letter after being urgently requested to meet a woman named Miss Farley. He hands over the task to Chick.
Before Nick leaves, he learns that the letter, along with the money, appears to be genuine. Inspector Mallory and Chick head to Harlem with Nick's chauffeur, while Nick stays behind to address Miss Farley's urgent matter.
This peculiar case unfolds as Miss Farley beckons Nick to hear her out, hinting that it’s a matter of life or death. She requests that Nick urgently spends time with her, offering to pay any amount. After making the necessary arrangements for Chick to proceed with the visit to Harlem, Nick agrees to leave with Miss Farley. Chick steps into the car and directs the chauffeur to 82 P---- Street in Harlem.
As they prepare to leave, a limousine pulls up and Nick is intercepted by Miss Farley, causing him to change his plans. He instructs Chick to proceed with the Harlem visit, addressing the matter with her, and apologizes to Inspector Mallory. Chick agrees to assume the case in Harlem, ensuring that it will be resolved without much trouble.
