Headline Comics #37 is an anthology featuring true stories of police and FBI heroes. The lead story involves a fingerprint expert who discovers a crucial single fingerprint that links a bank robbery suspect to Dr. Nielson's murder, and both prints match a print found on the suspect's car, leading to the identification of William Harrison Holden as the culprit. In a second story, an American oil tycoon named Hemmel attempts to sell his art collection to a con artist posing as an agent, but the scheme is exposed when the fake agent tries to ship counterfeit paintings; the story then shifts to Florence, Italy, where a woman named Miss Dorrance becomes romantically involved with Lorenzo, an art student who claims to be interested in her, though his true motives regarding her connection to wealthy collector Mr. Hugh Harkness remain unclear.
