Pistol-pack'n dames and their hooligan boyfriends learn the hard way that crime does not pay (except for pre-Code publishers, natch). Pretty violent mag, with some suggestive sex stuff mixed in, including a panel depicting a carnival cutie disrobing for the carny barker, promising to do "anything" to earn a few bucks. There's also a fun panel showing a snake with a lady's head wearing a crown as she coils around the skulls of her victims.
