Joe looks buff.	Joe plots a way out.	Justice for an informer--prison style.

Tom Lister and wife Cora in happier times.	Joe tries to persuade Gallagher (far right).	The cellmates make their plans.

Joe shows those pesky prison guards who's the man.	The jailbreak plan goes up in flames.	Joe looks not so buff.

"Ah, that hits the spot." Joe gets an eye massage.

DOC (to MUNSEY)
Why would you quit? You'd run out of helpless flies to stick pins into.
