Crime Must Pay the Penalty #4 (1948)

In the shadowed roads of 14th-century England, the feared criminal Thomas Dun eludes capture through endless disguises, striking from the guise of beggars, cripples, and even women. As the Sheriff of Bedford County hunts him, a captured informer warns that Dun’s true form may be closer than anyone suspects—especially when the man himself arrives at the castle under the pretense of loyalty.

William Garner, a desperate Navy deserter turned killer, flees Kentucky after a string of robberies and murders, making his way to Miami with a forged draft card and a growing trail of blood. As he evades police through the streets and swamps, he disguises himself as a woman to slip past patrols—only to be cornered at the train station, where his elaborate ruse unravels in a final, desperate confrontation.
