In "Oil Fever," the Kid’s impromptu rescue of people from a blazing oil rig is hampered by his shaky grasp of history—his attempts to summon famous figures for help are hilariously off the mark. But as flames rage and lives hang in the balance, he realizes the value of knowledge, vowing to the Keep to hit the local library and finally learn his history.

Bob Masters and Swab Decker get shore leave in Egypt when their ship docks at Port Said, ready to sightsee and soak up some culture—until they rescue a young woman fleeing from pursuers and find themselves caught up in a desert adventure involving a mysterious man named Hadji. What started as a quest to help a damsel in distress turns into a wild ride with camels, gunfire, and enough trouble to make the two sailors regret their decision to play heroes.

In "The Invincible Ah Choo," Jo tries to win Ah Mee’s heart by boosting his health with Stormy’s super-vitamins—only to find his newfound confidence attracts more attention than he bargained for. As a wave of admirers follows in his wake, Stormy vows to keep his powerful supplements under lock and key.

What Bill doesn't know is that a carnival scheme, a gorilla named Bosco, and a case of bad indigestion are about to turn the whole evening upside down in this hilarious 1944 tale from Hit Comics.
