Is this tale from Blue Streak Comics #8 (1944) by the same Robert Turner who penned pulp stories in the forties and mystery paperbacks in the sixties? Seems likely, but I don't know. But this guy did quite a few other comic book text fillers, and scripted some fully illustrated comic stories too. You be the judge.

Robert Turner was a prolific pulp novelist who wrote several stories for detective magazines, crime-ridden paperbacks and even sold stories for early TV shows. He also had a comic book career, and worked for Quality Comics, creating the female heroine Wildfire.
So, possibly...
You're right, Todd. Same story, same art, appears in Crash Comics #5.
