In the Kidnapper Bell, Jim wanted sex from his girlfriend (although he was married) so he spiked her beer. He gets dragged into something he had no part of and then played detective to find the sister. In City of Commerce, the guy is a gambler. He has a streak of good luck then bad luck. There doesn't seem to be anything the same about the two stories. But looking at the two men as the protagonists of the stories it would seem that both of them weren't that successful in their endeavors. They both start out thinking they were going to have a good time then something happens that turns that around. They both end up not looking so good. Although in the first story Jim did have choices to make and he made the wrong ones, in the second there weren't any choices to be made. They seemed to be made for him. The similarities I see are that both men are just two unlucky guys.
