"Blackhawk Battles a Firebug!" shows the Blackhawk team fighting a massive fire at a Proctor Oil facility while combating an arsonist threat. "Torchy" follows a woman named Lucinda who receives money from a man named Ezra and decides to leave her current life; the story involves a series of misadventures including a car crash at a garage and a disrupted dance, culminating in comedic chaos as Lucinda's plans unravel.
Blackhawk investigates a series of mysterious fires at the El Caffar oil depot, suspecting a dangerous criminal who uses fire as a weapon. When Mr. Moloch, a sinister figure with a flamboyant disguise and a grudge against oil magnate Proctor, reveals himself as the firebug, Blackhawk must outwit him before his deadly plan involving concentrated sunlight can be carried out.
Rollo and Ezra try to impress Lucinda by fixing her car, only to accidentally sell her antique candlesticks—leading to a frantic scramble to recover them before the dance, all while navigating a series of mishaps and a surprise from Rollo’s father.
