Rookie RankinSlimSqueakHorseLaughie

Rookie Rankin tangles with a prankster crook and his safe-busting gang who've turned the police force into laughingstocks by planting switched fingerprints at their robberies—making the cops look like fools with each heist. When the brass threatens to shut down the department over the ridicule, Rookie hatches a plan to turn the crooks' own fingerprint racket against them. It's a clever game of cat-and-mouse where Rankin gets to prove that he's always got a few tricks up his sleeve.
