The issue contains two distinct stories. "Code of the Jungle! Mr. Flatfoot" follows a hunter named Thor who, while on safari in Africa, encounters a massive gorilla and saves a woman named Stella from danger; later that night, Thor foils an attempted kidnapping when criminals try to abduct Stella. The second story depicts a World War II naval encounter where Captain Prien commands a German submarine that sinks the British battleship Royal Oak in a harbor, with German sailors celebrating the successful attack while British sailors perish in the flames.

In the heart of the African veldt, professional hunter Jim Thor and his client Milano pursue a wounded lion, bound by a code that demands the animal be finished to prevent it from suffering or endangering others. When the lioness returns to avenge her mate, Thor must fight for his life, relying on quick thinking and a knife at his belt to survive the deadly charge.

Mr. Flatfoot

Frank Hodges, a New York detective known for his unmatched wit and courage, takes on a series of crimes without ever carrying a gun—defying police regulations and relying on his sharp instincts and quick thinking. When a robbery at a cigar store turns deadly, Hodges faces a life-or-death moment that tests his legendary resolve, leaving him critically wounded and the city in shock.

The Man in the Shadows

Wilhelm CanarisAlfred Wehring

In the aftermath of a secret German naval victory at Scapa Flow, Alfred Wehring, the unsung mastermind behind the operation, reflects on his role as the invisible architect of the triumph while others celebrate. Though Admiral Wilhelm Canaris acknowledges his brilliance in private, Wehring remains uncredited, content to live in the shadows as the world honors Captain Gunther Prien as the hero.

Horses of the Old West
2 pp · Non-Fiction, Western-Frontier

This non-fiction piece explores the history and impact of horses in the American Old West, tracing their introduction by Spanish conquistadors and their evolution into hardy, wild animals. It details how Native Americans mastered horsemanship, using horses for raiding, warfare, and trade, before their role shifted to practical labor on reservations. The story highlights the enduring legacy of the Indian horse in Western life, from its days of glory to its current use in everyday tasks.
