Synopsis for "The Day the Devil Didn't Dare"
Someone takes a shot at Foggy, and a wounded Daredevil enlists the Black Widow's aid in trying to find out who is trying to kill his partner.
Daredevil still has one arm in a sling--and while chasing Foggy's sniper he not only faints but falls into wet cement. Foggy suggests a couple of ex-Vietnam vets (and dead shots) are after him because he exposed they were using their moving van company for criminal purposes.
Black Widow volunteers to take up the case for old times sake. This leads to another Vietnam vet,Bernard Closet, who is using his fish market as a cover to smuggle heroin inside the fish.Black Widow cleans up that racket as a sideline.
Thanks to a cab driver who is paid extra not to notice 3 tied up,unconscious men in the back seat, Widow delivers the three to Daredevil.
The Binion brothers have heart arrythmia, which makes daredevil's "lie detector power" useless. But he is able to smell brand new boots on one man---proof that he ruined his old ones by running through wet cement.
