☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features three main stories. "Outlaw of Space" follows Captain Condor, a space pilot in the year 3000, and his two companions Pete and Dave as they survive the explosion of their rocket-ship and are rescued by a space-pinnace headed toward Condor's vessel, ultimately reaching his destination despite their ordeal. A second story depicts Sergeant Tempest sliding down a grain chute to escape German forces during World War II, leading to a dramatic sequence on a barge called "La Vaste" where he and another commando named Jack must evade German searchlights and soldiers. The issue also includes "Jingo Jones and His Invisibiliser," in which the young wizard Jingo Jones uses his invisibility powers during a daring raid on a tuck-shop to catch thieves stealing lemonade bottles. Additionally, the magazine contains a "World-Wide Quiz" feature with fourteen illustrated questions on geography, animals, and general knowledge.
Detective Brett Marlowe is called in to solve a baffling case: a racehorse owner's prized animals are being mysteriously doped despite guards watching the stables around the clock, with no suspicious activity ever spotted. Brett and his companion Rusty stake out the stables and set a trap to catch the culprit in the act. When a figure sneaks into a nearby hut during the horses' morning gallop, the detectives are ready to discover who's been sabotaging the races and how they've managed to stay hidden all along.
