☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two main stories. "Obey the Law" follows police officers pursuing a reckless driver who has evaded traffic enforcement; the officers pursue him through city streets and into a wooded area where they engage in a shootout with the suspect. "Ed and Bill Cowlin" presents a true crime account in which two law enforcement brothers solve a series of jewel thefts committed by organized criminals, ultimately apprehending the gang responsible for the "kill-and-run" robberies through persistent investigation and confrontation.
Officer Mike Dudley sets a clever trap using a classified ad seeking a driver to California, hoping to snare the notorious "Taxi-Killer" who's eluded police after shooting Sergeant Donlon. When a suspect calls in response, Dudley must race against time to identify and capture the dangerous fugitive before he slips away. It's a tense cat-and-mouse game where a single false move could cost another life.
When state troopers discover the yellow sedan of fugitives Led Lewis and Leo Brill hidden in the woods, a desperate manhunt ensues across county lines and into a small-town schoolhouse. The two cop-killers—hunted for the murder of Detective Ralph Cole on what was supposed to be his wedding day—take a hostage and barricade themselves in the boiler room, forcing the law into an impossible standoff. It's a tense game of wits and nerve where cornered criminals will stop at nothing to escape, and the officers must decide how far they're willing to go.
Ed and Bill Cowlin, two determined lawmen, take on a ruthless gang of jewel thieves after one of the brothers is gunned down during a late-night patrol in Moraltown. With a matchbook clue and a nervous fence willing to talk, Bill pursues the criminals to their hideout on the waterfront, closing in on the men responsible for his brother's wounds. It's a race against time to bring the gang to justice before they flee town with their stolen goods.
