And Richard Wentworth, hastening to investigate the wreck of the car he had been pursuing, found all its occupants dead — electrocuted before the moment of collision!

Pierce with him the far-flung, gun-bristling cordon of an aroused Underworld — as he fights to save a hundred thousand Yankee lives!
