Crime and Justice #25
A man in a red suit attempts to frame another man for murder by planting evidence and creating a false alibi, but the accused man refuses to be manipulated and works to expose the scheme. After a confrontation involving violence, the man in red flees with a stolen painting. The issue also includes a "Crime-Facts" educational feature explaining forensic detection techniques such as paint analysis for vehicle identification, fingerprint dusting, and distinguishing homicide from suicide through ballistic evidence. An additional story depicts two convicts, Brest and Boarman, attempting a daring escape from prison by hiding in a cave system beneath the prison walls, though their plan faces complications when one is shot.
