Crime Must Pay the Penalty #17

1950-12-01 · 36 pages

An anthology of true crime stories featuring "Crime and the Country Cousins," in which city rat Pete Kalta and country rat Oscar Riddle—both involved in bootlegging operations—come into conflict when Oscar joins Big Ed's mob, leading to a turf war and eventual police intervention. The issue also includes "Scrooge of the Underworld," dramatizing the life of Oscar Biddle, and concludes with the true story of Willie Flagg, who executed a daring bank robbery on July 2, 1943, during a war film showing, narrowly escaping capture as police close in.
