Synopsis:
When a reporter is murdered, Lee Travis suspects racketeer Twist Brannigan. He visits a card room frequented by Brannigan and takes the cards after the game. He then delivers the cards to police where they can match Brannigan's fingerprints to the murder scene. The prints do match, so Lee returns to find Brannigan. The crook tries to kill Lee, but he becomes the Crimson Avenger and apprehends Brannigan.
