Fight against Crime #4
"Hopped Up Killers/The Cons Slaughter" This issue contains at least two crime stories. "Hopped Up Killers" involves criminals planning arson and murder, with a young man named Pete caught between loyalty to his father and doing the right thing—he delivers information to police about his father's criminal associates, leading to a stakeout at a bank where a policeman is positioned to observe activity during specific hours. "The Cons Slaughter" features Inspector Carroway investigating a murder case at the beach, with clues including footprints in the sand and a distinctive heelmark that may connect to a suspect, while examining evidence and building a case to bring the perpetrator to justice.
