Prize Mystery #3
Prize Mystery #3 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "It's Never Perfect" follows Helen Bradshaw as she and her husband Dave discuss her Uncle Dodd's impending visit, with Helen suggesting they could poison him to gain control of his estate, though Dave ultimately talks her out of the plan. Another story depicts a young boy named Todd whose grandfather tells him tales of Buffalo Bill and the Old West, but later expresses regret that his wild outlaw lifestyle was passed on to influence the boy. "Power of a Woman" shows a criminal being outsmarted by a clever woman who turns the tables on his scheme to extort money from her.
