24 Hours to Kill / Blue Mascara Tears

24 HOURS TO KILL
They were bringing in Jack Kelty. Though young, he had killed two men during a botched robbery. Thanks to reporter Martin Hillary, he is now something of a hero. Hillary is pursuing the caravan, followed by Kelty's young gang. But as the police caravan drives Kelty to justice, a savage storm floods the area, stranding them all in the small town of Blue Valley. Most of the men of Blue Valley are fighting the flood elsewhere. Only a handful are left in town to deal with Kelty's arrival. There's Steve Michaels, engaged to Mayor Ben Blake's daughter Sue; and Ben himself, who quickly appoints Steve sheriff as the flood cuts the town off from the rest of the country-and Ben's younger daughter Gretchen, who is very curious about this renegade in their midst....very curious indeed.

BLUE MASCARA TEARS
Jack Cummings is a San Francisco cop, an honest cop. Which is why he resents the way Knocko Cutter gets away with murder. Oh sure, nothing can be proved. But Cummings knows who killed the prostitute a few weeks ago, just like he knows who's behind the killing of a small time gambler in a downtown hotel. But Knocko has got the fix on his side. Cummings can't even trust his own partner. He doesn't even know if he should trust his captain. But one thing's for certain-he knows what he has to do. Cummings is an angry cop, a desperate cop, and he is going to get Knocko no matter what it takes.
