Canteen Kate finds herself involved in a military mix-up when she helps soldiers escape from camp, leading to complications when she receives a mysterious letter with a secret code.

Contains 4 stories
Trouble in Major Key
8 pp · Humor

When Canteen Kate heads to Tokyo to deliver spare jeep keys to a stranded Major, she discovers her crucial military pass has gone missing—and a young Marine buddy gets caught in the chaos trying to help her evade eager MPs on the hunt. What follows is a farcical day of disguises, fortune tellers, and close calls as Kate tries to keep her friend out of the brig while tracking down that all-important pass.

The Fleet's Out
5 pp · Humor

Anchors Andrews and Sleepy wake up aboard the wrong ship after a night of shore leave in Brooklyn, only to find themselves trapped on the USS Saratoga as it heads back to sea. When they attempt a daring escape via lifeboat, they end up in the water dodging a shark and clinging to life preservers, all while their own ship, the Sacramento, passes nearby. It's a wild chain of mix-ups and close calls that'll keep you grinning from start to finish.

Party Line
5 pp · Humor

Canteen Kate crashes a secret Marine meeting in the kitchen, determined to uncover what the boys are hiding—but when she enlists Small Change to track down the party location, a mix-up with slang and a moving trailer send her on a wild chase across town. By the time she arrives at the supposed shindig, she's missed the real surprise waiting for her back at the canteen.

Power of the Press
7 pp · Humor

Canteen Kate needs a news story for the camp paper, so she convinces her reluctant friend Al to sneak out of camp with her in search of one—only to stumble upon a skeleton clutching what appears to be a treasure map. What starts as a wild hunt for buried gold in the Japanese countryside turns into an unexpected comedy of errors when they discover the truth behind their "discovery."
