    Stories and art by Albert Tyler, Bob Forgione and Dennis Laugen. Pre-Code crime comics from Charlton, sometimes published under its short-lived Capitol or Law and Order imprints. Vacationing in New Orleans, Nick and Nora-like Mr. and Mrs. Chase get caught up in a strange series of killings that target dance duos. A detective in the "Federal Anti-Swindle Bureau" describes the con job known as the "option swindle," which tricks suckers into buying back an option on their own land. When a judge is targeted for death, a detective figures out who's behind it: the last person anybody would have suspected. Crime Facts: Counterfeiting; Mr. and Mrs. Chase Mystery: The Dance-Team Killer!; The Option Swindle; The Borgia Ring Clue; Buildup to Murder; Radio Patrol: Dash of Death. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
