The Spanish Prison Racket
9 pp · crime

When a woman receives an appealing letter from a man claiming to be a jailed descendant of Spanish nobility with access to sunken treasure, she eagerly invests $5,000—only to receive another request for more money. J. J. O'Malley's Racket Squad investigates the classic Spanish Prisoner swindle, deploying an undercover operative to the remote Mexican town where the con is being run, and sets a clever trap to catch the perpetrators in the act. A tense game of cat and mouse unfolds as the criminals learn they're being watched and must decide whether to risk everything for one final score.

Cold Deck
4 pp · crime
Jerry DeySidney Radner

In "Cold Deck," Jo, a sharp-eyed waiter at the 400 Club, aids gambler Jerry Day in a high-stakes game by secretly swapping the deck with a rigged one—though he never touches the cards himself. Just as the deception reaches its peak, a third deck, stacked with Jokers, is introduced, throwing the game into unpredictable chaos.

Charge It!
5 pp · crime

Inspector J.J. O'Malley uncovers a clever charge-account swindle when con artists Jack Thill and Irma Dix pose as wealthy society matrons to rack up merchandise at department stores—only to vanish before the bills arrive. As the victims compare notes and the police close in, the smooth operators discover that one careless mistake may have already given them away.

The Spirit Photo Racket
7 pp · crime
Dr. Neff

In "The Spirit Photo Racket," Dr. William Neff, known as the "Ghost-Breaker," steps in when two con artists attempt to trick an elderly woman using fake spirit photography, exploiting her grief with a scam that preys on the unseen. With sharp wit and a keen eye for deception, he unravels their scheme before they can steal her savings.

The Horse That Couldn't Lose!
5 pp · crime

Inspector V.J. O'Malley narrates how con artists Nick Roddy and Beef Lunden set their sights on a wealthy but horse-racing–ignorant mark named H.K. Thorson, rigging everything from the practice track's measurements to the jockey scales to ensure their horse Whiz-Bang will lose—until an unexpected cloudburst changes everything on race day. When the upset victory lands Thorson a half-million-dollar windfall, the scheme unravels in ways the racketeers never anticipated.
