Summary: "The Melting-Pot; Or, Nick Carter and the Waldmere Plate" by Carter and Waddell is a detective fiction story written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the renowned detective Nick Carter as he deals with the complex case involving the theft of valuable silver and gold plate belonging to the Waldmere family. The plot hints at themes of revenge and deception, involving significant characters like Stuart Floyd, a crafty adversary, and the Waldmere couple, who are distressed over their losses. The opening of the story introduces Nick Carter in a tense confrontation with Stuart Floyd, a man he previously arrested for fraud. The encounter underscores Floyd's thirst for revenge against Carter, as he ominously threatens that Carter will end up in a "melting pot," foreshadowing the later stakes in the story. Shortly after this exchange, Nick is summoned to the Waldmere residence, where he learns of an elaborate robbery involving the theft of the Waldmere plate during its transport from England. The unfolding dialogue and details reveal a plot rich with intrigue and the promise of danger as Nick begins to unravel a web of criminality involving inside information and betrayal, leading to a deeper investigation into the "melting pot" of criminal activity.
