Crime on the Waterfront #4

"Luke" Conrad, a notorious harbor racketeer with a brutal history of murder and exploitation, rescues a woman from drowning in the waterfront at night. After bringing her to safety, he learns she is Thelma, who uses her newly acquired $25,000 insurance payout to involve her sister in a scheme—drugging the sister with sleeping pills in coffee to coerce her into signing away her life insurance policy. When the sister dies from pneumonia shortly after, Thelma attempts to live off the murder money, but financial desperation eventually leads her to Uncle Harry, who reveals he knows the truth about her crime and blackmails her for the remaining funds.
