Young King Cole #10
The issue features "Young King Cole," the crime-fighting detective, in a story involving a glamorous model named Toni Gayle who performs in a television studio. When pearls are stolen and a valuable jeweler is implicated, suspicion falls on various characters including Dr. Crane and a man named Stephen. Detective Paul Walker pursues the case, leading to a confrontation with gangsters Emil Shelton and Bill Shelton, during which Walker is wounded but ultimately avenges his fallen partner Ed by shooting Shelton, though his victory is bittersweet as he reflects on his failure to protect his friend.
