Racket Squad in Action #16
An undercover racketeer named Kelton invites a man named Graham to join an illegal poker game in a private drawing room, claiming the stakes are limited to five dollars. The con escalates when Kelton reveals he has a valuable forged Rembrandt painting and offers to sell it, setting up a scheme to extort money by threatening to expose the mark's participation in the gambling operation. After a year of investigation, the Racket Squad successfully identifies the entire criminal operation and makes arrests, ultimately stopping the con artists from victimizing any further victims.
