Crime Does Not Pay #45

An anthology of crime stories depicting criminal downfalls and justice. One story follows a convict named Johnnie who escapes prison by studying the routine and exploiting an unlocked cell block door, only to be recaptured when he targets the wrong victim and is identified and tracked down by authorities. Another tale features a woman named Jean who, caught in a burning building during a crime spree, perishes in the flames as an onlooking crowd witnesses her demise. A third story depicts a criminal named Allen who murders a couple at their home, but is ultimately captured and executed when sheriffs arrive at the scene and discover evidence of his crime, including the stolen getaway car he attempted to use for escape.
