"Nick Carter Stories No. 135: Straight to the Goal; Or, Nick…." is a serialized adventure story written in the early 20th century.

The tale introduces themes of bravery, cunning, and the battle between good and evil as the characters confront various dangers and unravel a plot that involves supernatural elements. At the start of the story, a spear arrives in the camp where Nick Carter and his companions are stationed, delivering a message signaling the capture of Leslie Arnold, the son of a wealthy shipowner. The spear is accompanied by a necktie belonging to Leslie, prompting an urgent discussion among the group about their rescue mission. Despite the dangers lurking in the city of Shangore, Nick Carter's unwavering resolve leads them to prepare for a daring confrontation with the priest Calaman and the monstrous Golden Scarab. As the narrative unfolds, tensions rise as they navigate traps, threats, and rituals amid a corrupt regime, setting the stage for an intense confrontation filled with suspense.
