The first story, "From Police Files," depicts criminals planning a roadside robbery and murder, which is thwarted when police intercept them; the perpetrator George Sitts is eventually captured and executed in the electric chair on September 27, 1946. The second story, also titled "Famous Crimes" and credited to police files, follows a criminal enterprise involving robbery and murder, culminating in a police raid where the criminals attempt escape but are ultimately apprehended.
George Sitts is a three-time killer on the run through the Black Hills, desperate and willing to do anything to stay free. After a grocery clerk robbery goes wrong, Sitts shows up at his ex-wife Ellen's apartment, forcing her to patch him up—but her courage to go to the police sets law enforcement on his trail. When Sitts is captured and sentenced, he plots a dangerous prison break that launches a new manhunt, pitting him against the law in a relentless cat-and-mouse game.
Rita Boone conspires with Jim Dirk, a gambler, to murder her husband Tom Boone for his money—but her greed and cunning lead her down a darker path than she anticipated. This crime story reveals how Rita's lust for wealth and contempt for her husband set her on a collision course with betrayal and violence.
