The issue contains two stories: "The 400 King," in which Al Kruger, an 18-year-old hot-rodder, competes in a National 400 drag race against Joe Rubis and other drivers on a treacherous third turn, with tensions running high as Kruger is accused of being a "fresh punk" by his rivals. The second story involves Leni, a woman who meets Al at a Super Cams club and invites him to join their group; Al considers the offer and agrees to work for the organization while preparing his Dodge 330 for an upcoming drag strip competition, with the story continuing on subsequent pages.
