Crime Does Not Pay #68

# Crime Does Not Pay #68 This anthology issue contains multiple true crime stories illustrating how criminal activity leads to punishment and failure. "On the Level" by C.H. Moore presents several brief cases, including Bert Ross, who was sentenced to 13 years in prison in Goldsboro, North Carolina for a serious crime, and Roy Landor, arrested for stealing candy from a drugstore in Los Angeles and later arrested by the same detective for the same crime. Additional vignettes include a case solved through vacuum cleaner dust analysis revealing a spy's identity, an Englishman aboard a yacht exonerated of murder through snapshot evidence, and a stolen police patrol car recovered within 18 hours. The main narrative follows a woman detective investigating a counterfeiting scheme involving forged checks and a man posing as a butler, culminating in her pursuit through snowy mountains to apprehend the criminals.
