Dick Tracy's Dilemma, released in the United Kingdom as Mark of the Claw, is a 1947 American action film based on the 1930s comic-strip character of the same name created by Chester Gould.
Ralph Byrd may well have played Dick Tracy in further adventures had he not died unexpectedly, of a heart attack, on August 18, 1952, at age 43.
Tracy and his semi-competent assistant Patton examine the dead body at the morgue and find a note on it stating that three perpetrators performed the hit against the warehouse.
Humphries' plan was all along to sell back the furs to the insurance company after the 24 hours had passed and collect the penalty fee stated in the policy.
Feeling guilty about sending Sightless off to a certain death before, Vitamin goes to the bar to find the killer, pretending to be a blind beggar himself.
Sam and Fred make an attempt to steal the money for themselves, but the Claw, wounded but still capable of fighting, manages to kill them both.
The killings are witnessed by Vitamin, who also hears the Claw talk on the phone to Humphries, telling him the furs' whereabouts.
Tracy chases the Claw to a high-voltage generator, and the killer is killed by an electric shock when he touches a wire with his hook.
