Crime Does Not Pay #28

Young Bill Longley's hot-headed defense of his father's honor sets him on a collision course with the law in 1943's "Dodging Death with Big Bill Longley," adapted for Crime Does Not Pay by Dick Wood. From a killing in Texas to brushes with lynch mobs, horse thieves, and rival gunmen across the frontier, Big Bill finds himself constantly one step ahead of those hunting him—until his attempt to return home forces another desperate flight. A wild ride through the outlaw West where survival means staying one draw ahead of fate.

When a soldier on furlough arrives at the Catnip Club to see his girlfriend Denise Biro, he clashes violently with Carl Rossetti, the ruthless man buying the nightclub—but when Rossetti is found murdered, the soldier becomes the prime suspect. Inspector Bradley must untangle the truth from a web of suspects, each with their own motive to want Rossetti dead, as danger and deception continue to strike at the club. This whodunnit by Bob Wood challenges you to spot the real killer before the final reveal.
