You could show very bad things as long as the bad person paid in the end, preferrably through death.

Yeah, but sense was never a major concern of the Production Code. It's also responsible for a lot of artificial tacked on endings. For instance, does anyone believe Richard Widmark will really stick to the straight and narrow at the end of Pickup on South Street?
