(Daring Mystery Comics#2/6) - Perhaps keeping his victim under surveillance, the Vampire observed his long-time foe Mr "E" leaving Snead's residence. The Vampire intercepted him on a dangerous road outside of town and sent him crashing through a guardrail over a cliff. Believing Mr "E" dead, the Vampire returned to his hideout below an abandoned house. Nevertheless, when Mr "E" (who survived the crash) stowed away on Snead's car to find the hideout, the Vampire caught him. He then tied the crimefighter up and left him to be buried when the Vampire was finished with Snead and the house was destroyed in an explosion. The Vampire then proceeded downstairs to his meeting with Snead, who was reluctant to submit to the Vampire's demands until it was revealed that he had Betty, whom Snead believed to be with her aunt. He signed the papers, but the Vampire told them that he was going to kill them both anyway, just as he had with the others. Suddenly, Mr "E" broke in, having freed himself, and attacked the Vampire. As the two fought, the Sneads escaped with the Vampire's contract. When the police arrived at the house, notified by the neighbors of a disturbance, the Vampire and Mr "E" both retreated to their respective hideouts. Back at his secret laboratory, the Vampire began concoting his next scheme to kill his arch-enemy.
