"Blood on Arkansas!" depicts a prison break at Tucker Prison Farm where trustee prisoners betray guards and escape with stolen cash, bonds, and securities in October 1921, planning to divide the loot into separate piles at a deserted barn. "Gerald Chapman, the Plunderer!" follows Chapman and his gang as they execute a mail truck robbery on Long Island, with Chapman posing as the driver to steal registered mail sacks containing valuables. A third story involves a woman named Sandy who becomes entangled with criminals after picking up a man in her car, leading to a murder at a restaurant called Slippy's.
In the midst of a violent blizzard, Werner Schwartzmiller and fellow convict James Sherbondy orchestrate a daring jailbreak at Canon City Prison, using a captured guard as a hostage to unlock the cell doors. As the escapees flee into the storm-lashed countryside, they take refuge in the isolated farmhouse of Laurence Oliver, forcing the family to shelter them while the warden and a growing posse of volunteers hunt them down.
James Williams, a newly appointed trustee at Tucker Prison Farm, orchestrates a violent breakout with fellow convicts Bill Bohannon, Dyer, Javk Rheuark, and Eaton, turning on Bohannon in a bloody ambush. As the escaped convicts flee through swamps and towns, evading a relentless manhunt by guards, sheriff, and state police, their desperation mounts—until one by one, they are captured, leaving Warden Lewis to confront the aftermath.
Gerald Chapman, recently released from Sing-Sing, reunites with his former cellmate Dutch Anderson and driver Charlie Loeder to execute a daring mail truck heist in 1921 New York. After successfully stealing millions in cash, checks, and securities, the trio hides in plain sight under new identities in a luxury home on Gramercy Park, unaware the police are closing in. As law enforcement launches a massive manhunt across the country, the fugitives believe they’ve vanished—until a shocking twist reveals their fate.
Michael Strong is drawn into a deadly mystery when his former associate Slippy Grogan begs for help before dying under suspicious circumstances. With no signs of violence, Mike uncovers a hidden electrical trap in Slippy’s phone and traces the murder to a blackmail scheme involving incriminating papers—and a woman who may be more than she seems. As the chase unfolds through fog-drenched London, Mike must unravel the truth behind the Blackmail Beauty before she vanishes with the evidence.
