"Mark of the Monster" follows a radio patrol encountering a mysterious killer during their midnight shift. "Run, Killer, Run" depicts Danny Edwards, who lost his bankroll in a card game and hasn't found motorists willing to give him a lift on the highway, being pursued after shooting an officer and fleeing in a young soldier's truck. A kidnapping story involves a woman who failed to return from a matinee, prompting her husband to contact the police; detectives set up a stakeout at a vacant lot on Rockland Avenue after receiving a ransom note, discovering the kidnapper's plan to observe them through binoculars from a distant office building.
When Curtis and Merry Chase attend the grand opening of Alfredo's Restaurant, a bomb blast meant to destroy the business sets them on the trail of a dangerous criminal scheme involving the underworld kingpin Looch Mor and his hired bomb-maker. As the Chases dig deeper into why someone wants Alfredo's place leveled, they uncover a web of betrayal and violence that leads them straight into Looch Mor's mansion to confront the real mastermind behind the bombing.
Tex and Barry answer a midnight call to a small town where a sheriff has been brutally murdered—and the creature responsible is still loose, armed with a long knife and moving with terrifying speed. As the officers close in on their savage quarry through flooded streets and dark alleys, they uncover a desperate family secret that may be the key to stopping the killings. A tense hunt with a twist that hits close to home.
A young soldier on furlough hops a freight train to save money, but falls victim to two drifters who rob and throw him from the moving car—a murder that sets state police and local law enforcement into urgent action. When the killers are cornered at the rail yards, one escapes with a stolen gun and turns to increasingly desperate crimes to evade capture. His flight leads him toward a reckoning that neither he nor the officers pursuing him can outrun.
When private detective Devlin accepts a case from banker Ben Yeager, whose wife has been kidnapped by a mysterious criminal outfit calling itself "Death, Incorporated," he teams up with Sergeant Carr to set an elaborate trap—posting watchers to catch the culprits when they collect the ransom. But something goes terribly wrong: the money vanishes under the noses of their surveillance team, and the kidnappers return with a fresh demand for even more cash, leaving Devlin and Carr scrambling to figure out how the impossible theft was pulled off.
Al Foss, a young attorney caught between two women, faces an impossible choice: divorce his wife Joyce to marry Joan, or lose Joan entirely—but either path threatens to destroy his career and reputation. Can you solve the dilemma before Al's world falls apart?
