An anthology issue containing three crime stories. The lead story, "Brodie Gang Captured," describes how criminals who profited from prohibition rackets turned to other illegal activities and attempted to take over city government, but were ultimately defeated by law enforcement. Another story follows a gambler named Dale Jon-Jon who cheats at cards, gets caught, and is forced to flee to West Virginia, where he eventually meets a tragic end on the gallows. A humorous backup feature depicts children playing with bubble gum, learning about different bubble-blowing techniques and bubble sizes.

In 1938 Amarillo, Texas, a bitter rivalry ignites between young Chuck Martin and a local bully over the reputation of Chuck’s older brother, Blackie Martin, a legendary gunman. Years later, after Blackie is killed in a shootout, Chuck returns to town, driven by a desire to avenge his brother’s death and confront the truth about his past.
