☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features three crime stories. "The Perfect Crime" depicts police arresting a criminal who attempted what he thought was an undetectable crime. "The Old Switcheroo" tells of Harry Winslow, a paymaster at Compton Knitting Mills troubled by chest pain, who visits Dr. Kent and later contemplates robbing himself by staging a holdup during his payroll runs from the bank. "There Is No Perfect Crime" follows criminal Zip Malone's attempted robbery of a South Philadelphia loan office, which is foiled when police arrive and he is captured. The issue concludes with Sgt. Audley V. Walsh from the Ridgefield Park Police Department addressing readers about "The Almighty Dollar," explaining how crime has become big business and urging citizens to recognize their role in fighting it.
Dr. Elroy Kent treats Harry Winslow for chest pains, unaware the factory paymaster is already plotting a robbery to escape his stagnant life. With the help of his thugs Nicky Orelli and Max Hernden, Harry schemes to steal his own company’s payroll—only to find the plan spirals beyond his control.
