This issue features science fiction stories in the early pulp style. "The Moon Pool" by A. Merritt continues its three-part serial; the current installment depicts underground factions engaged in warfare with novel weapons, featuring characters Larry and Olaf confronting a mysterious entity called "The Shining One." "The Story of the Late Mr. Elvesham" is reprinted from H.G. Wells. The issue includes "The Visitation" by Cyril G. Wates, "The Electronic Wall" by Geo. R. Fox (exploring electrical innovation), "The Fate of the Poseidonia" by Clare J. Fisher Harris, "The Lost Comet" by Ronald M. Sherhl, "Solander's Radio Tomb" by Ellis Parker Butler, and "The Four-Dimensional Roller-Press" by Bob Olsen. The cover illustration depicts a climactic moment from "The Moon Pool." Upcoming stories include "The Ether Ship of Oltor" by S. Maxwell Coder (involving Venus warfare) and works by A. Hyatt Verrill and Cecil B. White.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
