Racket Squad in Action #26

This anthology issue contains two crime stories. "The Oracle" follows Ben Drake, a young man who claims to predict the future, as he uses his alleged gift to swindle the residents of Lonesome Valley with phony predictions, including a false prophecy about a barn fire. When Ben and his bride arrive at the farm they've fraudulently purchased, their scheme unravels as the authorities close in on the con artist. In the second story, a woman reports to police that her entire savings have been stolen, having withdrawn the money from the bank that morning only to find her purse empty while wandering in the park; detectives set a trap by having her pose with a marked bankbook, leading them to identify and apprehend the thief.
