Suspense Detective #3
The issue opens with a story in which a man named Weber is pursued by someone intent on killing him. Weber escapes on an airplane flight chartered by the Alaskan Construction Company, but a mysterious figure boards the same plane. A dramatic confrontation ensues on the runway, leading to the plane catching fire. The story continues with Weber being arrested, claiming innocence while his pursuer—a man named "The Cracker"—attempts to silence him. The narrative culminates in a tense sequence involving a train journey through mountain passes, where the Cracker plants explosives set to detonate at a specific time, forcing the protagonists into a deadly race against the clock.
