Star Of The Nile

A valuable emerald called "The Star Of The Nile" goes missing from a train traveling between Chicago and New York, though its true worth of $200,000 may be questionable. A theft is planned to occur at a jewelry store vault at midnight, leading to a conclusion that is notably over-the-top, even featuring an organist who mistimes his entrance during the final public service announcement.

Boston Blackie is a fictional character created by author Jack Boyle (1881–1928). Blackie was originally depicted as a jewel thief and safecracker in Boyle's stories, an antihero who maintained his own code of honor and was fiercely loyal to friends. Blackie's image was softened for radio, film and television depictions, where he became a private detective and was described as an "enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend."
