Another story features Dan Turner watching television when he encounters the criminal Lana Lane, who killed someone named Nocky Nelson and is on the run, leading to a confrontation in an apartment building hallway. A third story follows Inspector Finch and his partner investigating the murder of a woman named Lydia at an office, while Gail Ford works undercover as a salesgirl at a department store to catch criminals operating after hours in the building's delivery department.
