The cover story features "The Mystery of the Bullet-Proof Blonde," in which a Northwest Mountie confronts a mysterious woman and criminals in a snowy wilderness setting. A "True Dramatic Crime" story titled "Gerald Chapman" depicts the 1921 capture of criminal mail robber Gerald Chapman in New York. Another story, "Quiz Cordell, Crime Reporter," follows a crime reporter investigating a gambling operation and the disappearance of a man named Richard Rice, with dialogue indicating he has uncovered criminal activity and must pursue the case further.
Corporal Jim Duncan of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police finds himself up against a dangerous mystery when a young woman named Sally insinuates herself into his manhunt for a deadly trio of criminals—including the notorious Mike Blake—who've posted a bounty on his head. As Duncan pushes north through treacherous terrain with his Eskimo companion Mulaak and the enigmatic blonde, he must unravel Sally's true motives before her deceptions lead him into a fatal trap. A gripping wilderness tale of pursuit, betrayal, and survival in the frozen Canadian north.
Gerald Chapman was a smooth criminal whose $2,000,000 mail robbery seemed like the perfect crime—until a mole in his crew exposed him and sent him to prison. When Chapman stages a daring escape and returns to crime, he finds that his luck has finally run out, leading to a final confrontation with the law that proves there's nowhere left to run. This dramatized true account shows how even the cleverest criminal eventually faces justice.
Ventrilo, an ace crime reporter, finds himself framed for murder and theft by a cunning imposter who uses ventriloquism to shift blame onto him—while the ace himself, along with his brother Dr. Fate and sister Vera, must clear his name with police hot on their heels and a price on his head. When the real culprit's scheme begins to unravel, Ventrilo turns his own ventriloquism skills into a weapon to expose the truth and catch the notorious criminal behind the deception.
