PITILESSLY EXPOSES THE DEPRAVITY OF THE TRUE ADDICT, WHO TAKES LOVERS WITHOUT NUMBER, PERFORMS EVERY HEINOUS VICE, IN ORDER TO EMBRACE HER ONE TRUE LOVE . . . THE NEEDLE!

DRUGGED AND DEPRAVED!

One look at Gina and you knew she was a nice girl - nice on top, nice on bottom, even nicer in between. Furthermore, she had nice ideas, nice morals, and a nice head on her beautiful shoulders. But a beatnik named Bob slipped her a charge of heroin one night. After that, Gina was not so nice. . . . 

First came the orgies of dope and dizzying lust. Then the long transports of shameless ecstasy in the grip of the drug. And finally, selling that "nice" body of hers to anybody for any purpose. For solely in this fashion could she earn enough to buy heroin for herself, for her Bob, and for sleazy Willy, her filthy protector and pimp.

Fighting desperately to escape the drug and the degradation, Gina knew that in love lay her one hope. But she was truly loved, it seemed, only by another girl - by green-eyed Lois, the young sister of a dangerous dope-pusher! And he walked in, one day, while Gina and Lois were warmly embracing! . . .

Then he was sentenced to Camp Matthews - "Angels Camp." There he met a lot of young hoodlums, whose life-stories will shock you. But he also met Mr. Grozier, the counselor who really wanted to help.

Coul Grozier win his battle for Zubiat . . . against Zubiat himself?

FROM SUPER-HERO TO PIGEON IN ONE HIDEOUS NIGHT!

Jed Keelty was big stuff.

He was TV's "Gambling Gent" who always won - every fight, every girl, no matter what the opposing odds.

To millions of viewers, he was the epitome of super-strength, super-intelligence, super-courage.

Which made Jed Keelty and his beautiful fiancee all the more attractive as victims for "The Pigeon Game." The vicious invention of five warped young minds, the Pigeon Game was one contest Jed Keelty could not possibly win.

Stripped first of his romantic illusions about the girl he loved, Jed felt the night could hold no further horror for him...

But that was before he met Vint, the big blond muscle-boy who had marked Jed for himself. And Earl, the cowardly one, who hated him. Young Miguelito, who idolized him. And Juicer, the sinister one, who had plans for both Jed and his girl friend.

BUT MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL WAS HONEY, THE PONY-TAILED LITTLE SADIST WHO WOULD STOP AT NOTHING FOR THE TASTE OF JED'S BLOOD UPON HER LIPS BECAUSE IT DROVE HER INTO A FRENZIED PASSION THAT WAS, AT ONCE, BOTH DESPERATE AND DEADLY!

At Clapham Common, on the evening of July 2nd, 1953, a murder was committed. Charged with stabbing to death a young boy in a gang-fight, Michael Davies stood trial at the Old Bailey and was sentenced to death. His appeals to the Court of Criminal Appeal and the House of Lords were dismissed. He spent in all 92 days in the condemned cell until he was reprieved by the Home Secretary who commuted his sentence to one of life imprisonment. Of this, he served seven years; now back in society, he is married and has settled down, leading a life of quiet respectability. But Davies maintains, and has always maintained, that he was innocent.

Tony Parker examines his claim, and how it came about that Michael Davies was found guilty.

STORY OF YOUTH IN SEARCH OF 'KICKS'

2ND PRINTING NOVEMBER 1959

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE USA UNDER THE TITLE "GO"

Clellon Holmes is famous as the inventor of the Beat Generation, and The Beat Boys (originally entitled Go) is the book in which he introduced the phrase. It is a novel of youth in search of 'kicks'. Against a background of fast-drinking, drug addiction, wild jazz and all-night parties, the young people of today who make up the Beat Generation carry on their desperate search for a meaning to their lives - a search for identity, experience and love. The Beats may be found pursuing their restless quest in every big American city. Here is the world of the Beat Generation - a world of dingy backstairs, be-bop joints, night-long wanderings, meetings on street corners, hitch-hiking, and 'hip' bars.
