Tony reluctantly hires Carl to work at his current newspaper, run by a crusty old gentleman (John Carradine!). Tony assigns Kolchak to cover a series of exotic dancer murders-figuring this would be right up his alley ( and a dark alley it is).Each victim has been strangled, with their necks crushed- and a small amount of blood drained form them. It could be the work of a twisted serial killer- but Kolchak begins to think differently when he hears that each victim also had traces of rotting flesh on their necks!
