# Murderous Gangsters #4 The issue features a story about Frank Galler, a "trigger-happy terror," who is hired as a gunman to protect an illegal cache and eliminate threats. After a warehouse shootout where Galler kills a watchman and battles Marty Stachel (a "shoot-and-run killer"), Galler escapes with stolen valuables and takes refuge at the home of Tim Landau, an escaped convict hiding under an assumed identity for seven years. Galler's presence threatens Landau's carefully constructed legitimate life, leading to violent conflict as the two criminals struggle over a collection pouch, ultimately resulting in the gun rolling backward off a truck as the men battle for possession.

Marty Stachel is a two-bit hood with a hair trigger and a yellow streak—tough when he's holding a gun, but quick to run when the heat comes down. When a drugged man's desperate call to police opens the door on Terry Manotta's vicious dope operation, undercover agent Victor Cole infiltrates the gang to bring down the whole corrupt outfit. With each killing and each desperate move, the net tightens around these murderous pushers who'll stop at nothing to silence their witnesses.

Fresh out of jail and breaking his promise to the warden within days, Frank Galler launches a violent crime spree across three states—robbing homes, hijacking vehicles, and leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.

This hard-boiled tale follows Galler's swift descent from fresh start to final reckoning.
