Synopsis for The Mouthpiece: "The Murder of Malcom Munsey"

A knife-wielding home-invader breaks into Bill Perkins' wealthy friend's house, and murders the owner. From the condition of a pack of matches found at the scene, D.A. Perkins deduces that the killer is Greaseball Bulloni, and also he calculates (from an FBI tip) that Bulloni will be out at "Green Corpse Point," meeting up with his suspected partners. Perkins changes identities and drives out to the meeting place as the Mouthpiece.

The tip was good, there he finds Greaseball, signalling to a surfaced submarine, just off-shore. Mouthpiece creeps up and head-konks the big thug with a pistol butt, then puts him in his own car, for safekeeping. The sub, meanwhile, has dispatched a small landing party, and Perkins impersonates Bulloni, and thus gets close to their surfaced U-boat. Mouthpiece brandishes his handgun, and the boat crash-dives, to escape him, but he grabs one hatch cover and keeps it from closing. The sub floods and sinks, while the Mouthpiece swims away. Back on the surface, he finds and captures the first two two submariners, and their rubber liferaft. He instructs them to turn themselves in, and gives them directions to the nearest Coast Guard station. They comply.

Afterward D.A. Perkins personally arrests Bulloni, who is soon tried and found guilty and executed.
