With Gould’s sharp storytelling and art driving every frame, Tracy and Patton close in on a doctor whose connection to Crime, Inc. may be more than medical. The cover by Gould captures the story’s icy dread, making this 1947 Four Color #133 a standout in the series.
In "Crime, Inc.", detective Tracy tracks a chilling killer known only as Krome, a man who weaponizes children's toys to commit murder. With Krome's girlfriend Kitty torn between loyalty and conscience, the case takes a darker turn as Tracy closes in on the truth.
In the icy grip of a snowstorm, Krome flees from both Tracy and the woman he once trusted—his girlfriend Kitty—whose sudden betrayal leaves him trapped in a deadly game. With the apartment now a cage of danger and the streets a blur of white, Krome must outrun not just the law, but the chilling truth behind Kitty’s sudden turn.
In "Lost in a Blizzard," Krome struggles through a brutal blizzard to reach a remote doctor’s office, where he faces the grim necessity of having his arm amputated after a bullet wound turns gangrenous. When detectives Tracy and Patton arrive at the same isolated clinic, they find the doctor has already sent Krome back to the city on a snowplow—and soon suspect the doctor may be tied to Crime, Inc. As Tracy arrests the doctor and places him under local custody, he and Patton race to intercept the snowplow, unaware of the deadly trap that awaits.
In the frigid aftermath of a snowbound chase, Tracy and Patton track down a desperate killer, only to face the chilling cost of justice as Krome perishes in the cold. Meanwhile, a fugitive doctor and a corrupt constable try to flee justice, but are caught before they can vanish—just as a new threat emerges from the city: the escaped madman Selbert, who strikes down wealthy Angus DePool with brutal precision.
In the shadowed halls of Mrs. DePool’s mansion, Selbert hides in a basement cistern, shielded by his aunt’s quiet defiance. Though she knows the truth of his crime, she still protects him—bound by a past that twisted justice and left her with a secret she can’t speak. As her granddaughter and a man named Tracy grow suspicious, the house itself begins to feel like a trap, full of whispers and unseen eyes.
In "Poisoned Doorbell," a tense game of cat and mouse unfolds when Selbert kidnaps Myrna, Mrs. DePool’s granddaughter, locking her in the basement cistern. With a desperate plan, Mrs. DePool shoots Selbert and sets a deadly trap with a poisoned doorbell meant for Tracy, but the wrong man answers—Myrna’s fiancé, who falls victim instead. As chaos erupts and the house burns, Selbert escapes with a chest of cash, leaving Mrs. DePool trapped in the inferno with her own twisted revenge.
