Synopsis for "The Paths of Three Murderers: Part 1"
While the Hangman chases down a foe, two other criminals have escaped from prison. Before the two escapees make it to a hideout, one of them stabs the other with a dagger, leaving him to die. Later, the injured man gets up and stumbles off vowing to kill the "back stabber."
Meanwhile, the Hangman's foe has made his getaway, and begins his search for the two cold-blooded killers. It is the same two who escaped earlier. It seems he helped plan their escape in order for them to work for him.
He finds the injured thug and the two locate his back stabbing partner. The boss informs them that if they become friends again, they'll make a fortune. They all agree to work together and rob an art museum.
With the help of his friend, Anthracite, the Hangman is able to find the thieves at the museum. He confronts them and a fight ensues. The thug who was stabbed earlier, tries to strangle the Hangman while the other two make their escape. During the struggle, the crook realizes he will be sent to the gallows if he kills him. The man decides to give himself up and help the Hangman find the other two.
To be continued next issue.
