This anthology issue contains two crime stories. "Sucker Bait" details various confidence schemes operated across America, including the false arrest racket where swindlers pose as authorities to bilk victims, and the trip con where accomplices abandon travelers at roadside locations. "Segregation" describes the prison practice of isolating dangerous convicts in separate cells to prevent them from communicating with other inmates, though it notes one convict managed to smuggle a knife into his cell despite these precautions.

In a high-stakes crime spree across Chicago, detectives Scott Burns and Johnny Cooper race to unravel a string of violent bookmaker heists tied to a shadowy gang operating under the radar. As the investigation unfolds, the detectives follow a trail of clues—from a broken nose and an army-issue gun to phone numbers and a former prizefighter—uncovering a network of criminals planning a major syndicate robbery. With the clock ticking and danger mounting, the detectives close in on the gang’s hidden members, but the true extent of their operation remains shrouded in mystery.

Roxy

Roxy, a sharp-witted figure in a gangster's world, dismisses a nervous man’s plea to join his crew, insisting he’s no "petty stoolie." At a gambling house, Roxy boasts that his success isn’t luck but strategy, while a hidden listener overhears a warning that could change everything.

Segregation

In a stark look at prison life, a nervous convict, terrified of retaliation after informing on his gang, begs to be placed in segregation—solitary confinement—where he can avoid the violent fate that has claimed others who betrayed their peers. The story contrasts his desperate plea for safety with the grim reality of life behind bars, where even isolation offers no true escape from the prison’s brutal code.
