Jack "Killer" Cabot has broken out of jail just before he's to be executed and escapes into a swamp. He comes upon an old house (of course!) and a man invites him in and tells him that he can change his appearance so the law won't recognize him. Then he proceeds to put the bite on him, after which Cabot changes into an ugly beast. Two prison guards end up tracking him down, but not before Cabot has a little accident.
A so-so story is saved by some marvelous art by Basil Wolverton. The slimy monster seen in the splash panel is replaced by Cabot's "pig/ape" in the rest of the story that appears in Stanley Morse's WEIRD MYSTERIES #5 (June 1953).
