“The Big Catch”

In "The Big Catch," Kookie’s borrowed car leads to a dangerous mix-up when two crooks mistake him for the real Bailey—someone they’re still bitter about. With the clock ticking toward midnight and a freight train’s roar set to mask a deadly shot, Kookie’s in over his head, all while the boss from the past isn’t ready to let go of old grudges. Written by Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer, with sharp, dynamic art by Alex Toth (pencils and inks), this 1964 World Distributors gem captures the tension and flair of the original series with precision and style.

When Kookie borrows Stuart's car, two crooks mistake him for Bailey and take him to their boss. Upset because Kookie isn't Bailey, who had sent him to prison, the boss plans to have Kookie shot at midnight when a freight train's noise will cover the sound of the gunshot.
