Dick Tracy #120

In "Mumbles," the notorious thief and his gang flee police pursuit in a stolen car, forcing the owner, Kiss Andtel, to alert Dick Tracy. With a trail of clues and a mysterious past, Tracy tracks the gang to a quiet boarding house—where their next move is already taking shape.

In "The Mumbles Quartette," the notorious criminal Mumbles and his gang hijack a charity event hosted by Mrs. De Pyster, dragging along the reluctant Kiss Andtel. With the storm raging and the sea swallowing the horizon, Mumbles sets a deadly plan in motion—dynamiting the boat with his crew and Kiss still on board, while he escapes in a rubber raft, leaving her trapped in the cabin with the fuse lit.

In "Justice at Last Triumphs," Mumbles makes a desperate bid for freedom, fleeing across the water in a rubber raft—only to sabotage his own escape when a broken oar pierces the inflatable hull. The story captures the tense, grimy realism of Dick Tracy’s world, where even the most ill-fated escapes end in consequence.
