The Perfect Crime #21
The issue contains two crime stories. "The Butcher Bandits" depicts criminals who rob an Acme meat plant payroll on January 19, 1950, then attempt to escape with stolen money while police pursue them through a resort and toward the mountains. "The Police Will Always Smash" (partial) shows two hoods executing a safe robbery, with one criminal named Clyde Bishop cracking the safe while his partner keeps watch, before they attempt their getaway. The issue concludes with an editorial piece addressing careers in law enforcement for both men and women.
