# Crime Does Not Pay #77 The issue contains a story about a man named Hurder who, having been engaged to a woman named Cynthia for two years, is blackmailed by a criminal who threatens to reveal that Hurder's late father's business losses were covered up in the front office. Under pressure, Hurder steals a car and is drawn deeper into crime, eventually becoming a fugitive who must evade capture by the sheriff. The narrative illustrates how blackmail and coercion lead an ordinary man down a path of escalating criminal activity, ultimately demonstrating that crime does not pay.
