Summary "Nick Carter Stories No. 120, December 26, 1914: An Uncanny Revenge; or, Nick…" is a fictional detective story written in the early 20th century. This installment in the long-running series features Nick Carter, a prominent private detective known for solving thrilling cases. The story centers on a dramatic incident involving the famous Swedish actress Helga Lund, who suffers a breakdown during a staged performance, leading to a connection with a dangerous escaped convict, Doctor Hiram Grantley, and an exploration of themes such as revenge and mental manipulation. The opening of the story introduces Nick Carter at a breakfast table with his assistants as they discuss Helga Lund's alarming breakdown during her performance. Ida, Carter's woman assistant, recounts the disturbing incident where Lund appears to be under some mental spell, linked to a man resembling the incarcerated surgeon Grantley. As the conversation unfolds, it’s revealed that Grantley has escaped from prison, leading Carter to suspect that Lund's breakdown was not coincidental. The climax builds as Carter leaves to investigate Lund's condition further, setting the stage for a gripping pursuit of a criminal who wields the power of hypnotism.
