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 tracks a dangerous trio linked to a bounty on his life, only to find himself entangled with a mysterious blonde, Sally Smith, whose true motives remain unclear. As they journey through the Yukon, tensions rise when Sally’s actions repeatedly save Duncan from ambushes—leaving him to question whether she’s an ally or another player in the deadly game.
Gerald Chapman, a cunning criminal known as the "Genius of Crime," orchestrates a massive mail robbery and flees to a New York hideout, only to find himself betrayed by a supposed fence. After being imprisoned and later escaping from a prison hospital, he continues his criminal spree with an accomplice, evading capture through a series of tense escapes and narrow brushes with the law.
In the mystery-driven tale "The Case of the Mysterious Mimic," a young woman and her brother, Dr. Fate, find themselves caught in a web of deception when a notorious criminal impersonates the famed crime reporter Ventrilo, framing him for a series of crimes including theft and assault. As police hunt Ventrilo on sight, the siblings must uncover the truth behind the mimicry before the real culprit—posing as Ventrilo—executes a daring heist at the city hospital.
