This issue contains two distinct stories. The first follows "Leatherneck Jack" at a junkyard in Korea, where he battles enemy forces using a snake as a weapon while soldiers engage in combat around him. The second story depicts a theatrical director who agrees to help a woman get into a show, then transitions to a military narrative in which Marines attempt an escorted tour through enemy lines; after making contact with division headquarters, they come under enemy fire while traveling on horseback, with soldiers ultimately taking defensive positions as they face attack near their company's position.

Leatherneck Jack

Leatherneck Jack and his fellow Marines infiltrate a bombed-out Korean hamlet near the 38th Parallel, only to discover a suspicious woman who may be leading them into a trap set by Chinese Communist forces. When Jack gets separated from the unit after a violent encounter in the ruins, he must race to warn Monte and Gum before the mysterious Korean woman delivers them straight into enemy hands at Junkyard Junction.

Call to Arms
6 pp · War

Canteen Kate dreams of stardom and finaggles her way into an understudy role for a USO show—but when the lead actress agrees to skip her performance in exchange for a date with a general, Kate's scramble to deliver on that promise spirals into hilarious chaos. With only two generals on base and her schemes running roughshod over military decorum, she'll have to think fast to get herself on that stage before curtain call in this 1954 war-time romp.

Front Line Snafu
7 pp · War
Disguised for Death!
4 pp · War

Marine Corporal Bill Ryan stands guard at an American consulate in the turbulent Near East when a violent storm knocks out power and communications—the perfect cover for Soviet agents to make their move. When a spy forces the vice-consul to retrieve a classified list of suspected communist operatives, Ryan devises a daring disguise to turn the tables on the enemy. This tense tale of wartime espionage and quick thinking plays out across a single perilous night.

Enemy Breakthrough
8 pp · War

When a Communist breakthrough threatens Company B of the Fifth Marine Battalion in Korea, a wounded messenger arrives with urgent news: Division Headquarters has ordered an artillery barrage that will hit the company's position in one hour unless they can relocate. Corporal Franklin and two men race through enemy-held woods to deliver the warning, but a firefight with a Communist patrol leaves them captured—until Franklin's quick thinking with improvised explosives gives his comrades a desperate chance to escape. With the clock running out, the survivors must get back to their outfit in time to save them from their own artillery.
