Dick Tracy (Morgan Conway) faces one of his most evil adversaries in the form of "Cueball", a ruthless criminal played by a very scary Dick Wessel. Cueball has been betrayed by his gang members, and is now disposing of them one by one. Normally this would not have bothered the police who had long targeted the villains, but now Dick Tracy himself is marked for death. It's up to Tracy and his partners to track down this gangland killer before Tracy is added to the list of victims.
