Murder on Wheels

Written by Paul Ernst, it was published in the November 1, 1940 issue of "The Avenger” magazine.

Two criminal plots develop side-by-side: 1) theft of the indestructible Marr-Car, and of Phineas Jackson's process for steel-hardening; 2) ongoing sabotage and blackmail at the Marr plant.

An auto manufacturer, Ormsdale, wants control of the process, steals the super car and pursues Jackson.

Wilson, an idealist who always fights for underdogs, is Benson-like: strong, intelligent, fast, handsome, resourceful.

killed in the metal-hardening chamber; the radiation restores his face, skin, and hair.
