Synopsis for Sandman: "He Doodled It"

After serving a prison term for robbery, "Sparrow" goes back into crime, now specializing in robbing other gangsters, particularly a counterfeiter called "Phoney Phil." Sparrow has a mole called "Slippy" planted in Phil's gang, and he also has a bad habit of doodling while talking on the phone. He leaves behind some doodles at one one pay phone just before Wes Dodds uses it, which draws the Sandman and Sandy down on him. They jump his gang while it's robbing Phil's gang, in a room with a revolving floor; at the end of that melee most of both gangs have escaped leaving behind only Slippy, who got knocked out but recovered. Feigning unconsciousness, Sandman and Sandy allow Slippy to "escape" then trail him to Sparrow's hideout, then eavesdrop to learn what's going on. Sparrow's gang again waylays Phil's gang at a bank, and the Sandman and Sandy jump in and bust all of them.
