Crime Does Not Pay #66

In 1948, Crime Does Not Pay tracked the ruthless rise and fall of the Brady Gang—four young killers who worshipped violence and left a trail of cold-blooded murders across multiple states during their two-year crime spree. Starting with a stolen car in a small Indiana town, Brady and his associates escalated from petty theft to armed robbery and murder, staying one step ahead of police until an intensive multi-state manhunt finally closed in on them. This is the true story of how ruthless criminals eventually face the full force of law enforcement.

Dick Richards, known as the Nebraska Fiend, starts life as a troubled, violent youth—killing animals, defying authority, and eventually fleeing home to head west. Years later, working as an attendant at an insane asylum near Omaha, he falls in with cattle rustlers and hatches a plan to rob a wealthy farmer's gold, promising his partners an equal share. But Richards has different ideas about what "equal" means, and his ruthless betrayal of those who trusted him sets him on a collision course with the law.
