An anthology issue containing three crime stories. The lead story, "Brodie Gang Captured," describes how criminals who profited from prohibition rackets turned to other illegal activities and attempted to take over city government, but were ultimately defeated by law enforcement. Another story follows a gambler named Dale Jon-Jon who cheats at cards, gets caught, and is forced to flee to West Virginia, where he eventually meets a tragic end on the gallows. A humorous backup feature depicts children playing with bubble gum, learning about different bubble-blowing techniques and bubble sizes.

Tony 'Brodie' AmiottiNick Misttrano

When Prohibition ends in 1932, mobster Tony "Brodie" Amiotti and his gang flee the heat in their home city and move west to take over the gambling rackets and extort protection money from local operators—but their ruthless expansion draws the attention of both rival gangs and determined law enforcement determined to protect their city from mob rule. As Amiotti's operation grows, corrupt money flows freely and violence erupts in the streets, forcing the police and city officials to take decisive action against the invading criminal enterprise. Watch as the forces of order close in on the Amiotti gang and their ambitious reign of terror faces its greatest test.

During Prohibition, the Jon Jon Brothers—Dale and Junior—stumble into a life of crime after a brutal beating from a rival bootlegger, pivoting to hijacking liquor shipments meant for other gangsters. As their operation grows bolder, the brothers expand from alcohol to furs and other contraband, strong-arming fences and eliminating witnesses along the way, until the law finally moves in to settle accounts. This gritty crime tale tracks the rise and ruthless ambitions of two brothers in 1950's Crime Fighting Detective.

Chuck MartinBlackie Martin

When a trigger-happy gunman known as the left-handed bandit dies in a shootout with police in 1938 Amarillo, Texas, the tragedy unearths a painful secret: he was Blackie Martin, a small-town boy idolized by his younger brother Chuck. Years later, consumed by grief and a twisted sense of loyalty, Chuck Martin sets out to avenge his brother's death by targeting the very police force that killed him. As Chuck's vendetta spirals into murder and chaos, he learns that the bonds between lawmen run far deeper than any criminal code.
