The suave safe-cracker returns! A woman from BOSTON BLACKIE's past comes to him for help. Her son is sitting on death row for a murder she knows he did not commit. Quickly getting himself some short time for a job any fool could sleepwalk through, BLACKIE finds that the rotten warden may have a hand in the man's execution. What is he hiding, and why does he fear the work of the nebbish criminologist? More importantly, can BLACKIE tie all these frayed ends together before an innocent man is, as the mugs say, "WESTINGHOUSED"?
