This anthology issue contains multiple crime stories. "Obey the Law" follows a group of criminals planning a $100,000 robbery at a bank, but their scheme is foiled when police, acting on intensified activity from a recent murder wave, conduct a coordinated citywide sweep and apprehend the gang. The issue also advertises stories including "John 'Greenie' Gosnow—The Hyena of the Sea," "Killer Hunt in the Black Hills," "Why Did He Want to Die?", and "When Dead Men Told," along with a true criminal case history featuring Detective Walter E. Clancy recounting his 29 years in crime detection.
