In "Death On the Downbeat," Captain America and Bucky take on a cunning criminal who uses a look-alike singer to pull off a series of robberies—complete with a doctor who hides the imposter in a large instrument case. With the women claiming to have seen the singer commit the crimes, and the doctor spinning a tale of psychological influence, the police are fooled. When the duo confronts the ruse on a train, the deception unravels in a tense, knife-wielding showdown. The story, illustrated by Al Avison with inks by Jim Mooney, features a cover by Vince Alascia.
