The Blue Beetle faces off against the Hoops, a Nazi undercover gang operating in the city, after a murdered F.B.I. agent surfaces with a telltale swastika hood—setting Dan Garrett on the trail of Baron Gell and his men's sinister plot. When the Beetle uncovers a map revealing a trap aimed at a Navy experimental ship passing through the Hudson River, he races to stop the sabotage and protect Joan Mason from the clutches of the Nazi conspirators. This Charles Nicholas tale pits the armored hero's super-powered strength and quick thinking against an organization determined to strike at America's defenses.
