Police Comics #63

Plastic Man stakes out Norton Amusement Pier to take down Bunk Norton, a ruthless criminal operating behind the scenes—but when Norton's men reveal themselves to be something far stranger than ordinary crooks, our hero discovers that the boss they call "the Crab" has a twisted obsession that goes way deeper than simple crime. As Plastic Man closes in on his quarry, he'll need every ounce of his powers to survive an encounter with a foe who's learned his most dangerous lessons from the ocean itself.

When Ted Carson becomes the prime suspect in a series of murder threats against four men who stole his invention, Officer Dan Richards—who moonlights as Manhunter—begins to suspect the evidence is far too neat to be genuine. Determined to uncover the truth, Manhunter leaves Ted under guard and investigates, only to discover that a real killer is still at large and scheming to frame the innocent man. With murders mounting and suspicion closing in, Manhunter devises a bold plan to prove Ted's innocence once and for all.
