"Trap for Boobs" follows Judd Elihu Branson, who sets an elaborate trap for his business partner Henry Jacobi by faring a trap designed for flies, leading to Jacobi's death and Branson's eventual execution in the electric chair. Another story features Warden Thompson and a man named Kemmler who is scheduled to be executed; Kemmler reveals a murder plot involving a barber shop haircut before meeting his final fate. A third story depicts a gang of purple-clad criminals who are taught a lesson by law enforcement through a demonstration involving ripped clothes and physical punishment, after which they are arrested and their criminal operation is dismantled.
Hunted killer Rocky Gandella undergoes facial reconstruction surgery in a grimy rooming house, believing a new face will let him escape his past—but his cruelty and callousness follow him into the world, haunting those who recognize the man beneath the mask. When an old acquaintance from his past confronts him at the pier, Rocky discovers that no amount of surgical alteration can erase what he's become. In this grim tale of retribution, the criminal discovers there's no safe harbor at the end of the rainbow.
When business partner Judd Elihu Branson decides to cover up his embezzlement by staging Henry Jacobi's death as a suicide, he meticulously plans every detail—only to overlook one small but damning piece of evidence. A crime detective's sharp eye for what doesn't add up unravels the entire scheme, proving that no matter how carefully a murderer plots, some mistakes can't be undone.
