This Spanish-language pulp magazine issue contains "Pasión sangrienta" (Bloody Passion), translated from the English original "Get a Load of This" by Ricky Drayton, translated by E. Donato. The story is a murder mystery set in New Orleans. At a pool party celebrating Amanda Webster's twenty-fifth birthday at her father Colonel Webster's estate, the narrator—a crime reporter—discovers Jeff Leary stabbed to death in a changing cabin, a wide gash in his left back. The murder weapon has vanished. The narrator notes suspicious details: Dish Webster, the colonel's younger daughter, had previously violently attacked a former lover with her Cadillac; Dish was romantically linked to the deceased Leary, though he spent the evening with her sister Amanda. The narrator begins investigating among the five remaining party guests—Amanda, Dish, Sue Taylor, Jeff, and himself—all in swimwear. Amanda discovers the narrator searching Dish's cabin for the missing knife.
