Description
There's big trouble on the wrist radio: Five of the city's deadliest hoods lie dead in a downtown garage - and their boss, Lip Manlis, will soon be number six. "Big Boy" Caprice is on the rampage. With his number-one gun, Flattop, loose on the streets, Big Boy plans to destroy his gangland opposition and unite all the tough guys in town - Pruneface, Mumbles, Itchy, Numbers, and the rest - in an organized reign of terror. Just one man stands in Big Boy's way: Dick Tracy.
Soon, the ace detective will be hit from all sides: by the ferocious Big Boy himself; by Breathless Mahoney, the sizzling chanteuse who wants to snag Tracy away from his girl, Tess Trueheart; and by a mysterious, faceless figure, The Blank, who may have found the ultimate way to end Tracy's crime-stopping career for good.
