Mister Universe #4

Scarcely gets worn down by the endless grind of Army drill until a bright idea sends him joyriding in a commandeered jeep—but with the gas pedal stuck, he careens through the base straight toward the firing range. What starts as a bid to escape routine duty spirals into pure comedic chaos as Scarcely tears through camp, leaving a trail of exasperated officers in his wake.

Penrod has been sneaking away to secretly train as a jockey, hoping to win the Media Handicap with his late father's horse, Friction—the prize money will buy evidence to clear his father's name from an old doping scandal. When Mister Universe arrives to help investigate, a mysterious caller promises information about the case, but a stable hand turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, and someone attempts to sabotage the race itself. As the truth unravels, Mister Universe must expose the real culprit before the final race—and before Penrod becomes the next victim.
