On October 4, 1931, Dick Tracy proposed to his girlfriend, Tess Trueheart, at her father’s delicatessen. It was a happy day at the deli—Tess’s father, Emil Trueheart, and mother, Mary, had finally saved up enough money to pay off their mortgage, and their girl was to be married to one of the city’s most upstanding and square-jawed young citizens. But there was trouble in paradise: from across the street, two thugs saw Emil counting his money. The engagement party was cut short when they robbed and murdered Emil and kidnapped Tess.
