# Real Clue Crime Stories #1 (1951) This issue contains multiple crime stories. One story follows a blackmail scheme in which a man demands payment from someone by threatening to expose a secret, demanding delivery within a week. Another narrative involves a criminal operation at a shipping company where guards are bribed and money is exchanged for what appears to be a stolen goods heist. A third story features a swashbuckling adventure involving a character called Cartouche, a highwayman leading a band of outlaws in 18th-century France who kidnap a prince and demand ransom from the king, ultimately leading to a confrontation in a seaside cavern.
