Don't Talk
Even a whisper may get to Hitler
This Crime Does Not Pay series entry dramatizes the idea that during wartime, people should not discuss anything related to their work when in public. A casual remark can be overheard by an enemy agent and used to sabotage the war effort. In this short, the story involves shipments of parts to a defense plant.

Reviews
We ought to know by now, that “Crime Does Not Pay” but just in case we had forgotten, this one combines with “Dangerous Talk Costs Lives” to warn us of the dangers of idle chatting in wartime. An explosion at a factory causes the FBI to suspect that some fifth columnist saboteurs are up to no good, but how on earth did they know of this precious shipment? The workforce are all entirely trustworthy
