Justice Traps the Guilty #56

This anthology issue features two crime stories adapted from true police and FBI cases. The first story follows Joe Crane, a man released from prison after fifteen years who struggles to readjust to civilian life; when his parole officer warns him to stay clean, Crane plans to commit a crime with an accomplice named Denton, but the authorities monitor his movements and ultimately apprehend him before he can act. The second story involves a group of criminals plotting to extort money from a man named Lou Cannon by threatening him, but their scheme unravels when law enforcement intervenes to protect Cannon and arrest the perpetrators.
