"Johnny Fox" by Paul Porter follows a Seminole Indian brave who gains invisibility through a mysterious herbal formula and uses his powers to combat sabotage at a circus, where stench bombs and other disasters have plagued the Big Three Circus. A separate story involving the Liberty Lads features the young heroes retrieving a key to a secret arms cache from Captain Cummings to aid the British forces, after which they distribute extra weapons to help British troops retreat safely. The issue also includes stories starring Duke O'Dowd, The Champ, Neptina, and Jungleman, along with a Robin Hood and Jones adventure where the outlaws trick a posse into a boxcar and escape by train.
Simple Snitz takes on a five-dollar job watching a businessman's safe for the night, but when two "friendly fellows" show up looking for company, the screwball detective's good manners become his downfall. As Snitz gets drawn into a game of hide-and-seek, he realizes too late that his new pals had far less innocent intentions for the safe they left unguarded.
By a freak tornado, pilot Duke O'Dowd crashes into Bayakura, a hidden city sealed off from the world for thousands of years—and the inhabitants believe he's the legendary Great Deliverer prophesied to save their world. Outfitted with astonishing scientific weapons by the scientist Wah-Le, Duke must contend with Frango, the ambitious heir who plots to seize Bayakura's treasures and escape to the outside world before Duke can stop him. It's a high-flying adventure of lost cities, advanced technology, and one man caught between two worlds.
