Crime Must Pay the Penalty #32
A young criminal named Joe Dixon is recruited into a street gang operating in the hood, gradually being initiated into small theft jobs. When Dixon encounters a post office worker named Jud Perkins at a bar, he is offered a proposition to steal mail packages from the post office for five dollars apiece, leading Dixon to involve Perkins in his criminal scheme. As the partnership develops and they plan increasingly ambitious thefts, the story traces how Dixon and Perkins become entangled in organized crime through their cooperation in stealing from the postal service.
