All-Famous Crime #4
An anthology of crime stories drawn from police files. The opening story depicts police officers in a shootout with criminals during a street robbery near a bank. Another story involves members of the Polka Dot Gang who operate out of a bar on Aberdeen Street in Chicago, planning robberies and evading police; the gang is eventually caught after a shootout. A separate narrative follows "Blackie," who is interrogated by police about a St. Charles robbery from January 1936, and reveals information about associates including a bartender named Joe and a criminal named Big Jeff Hansen.
