This story was not titled.

Crimson Avenger is often referred to as merely the Crimson.

Synopsis:
An informant named Miller approaches publisher Lee Travis with information about some recent grave robberies. After telling Travis that the crooks are looking for the buried loot of a crook named Slug, Miller flees. Travis catches Miller as the Crimson Avenger, intending to take the informant to the cemetary to prove his claim. Miller jumps from the Crimson's speeding car, forcing the Masked Avenger to continue alone. The Crimson finds the crooks digging up another grave that night and captures them. He then manages to escape from police who wonder if the Crimson was really part of the gang.
