The Fighting Yank battles Nazi agents and their ally Nitro-Man, who has stolen a secret formula. After a tree makes contact with Nazi nurseries, the Fighting Yank closes with Nitro-Man in combat, ultimately defeating him and recovering the formula, which is handed over to the FBI. The issue also features a backup story involving the Oracle discovering a serum containing concentrated adrenaline that enhances physical abilities and causes supernatural phenomena, leading to a confrontation with spies attempting to steal the formula.

Fighting Yank Meets Nitro-Man
14 pp · Superhero

The Fighting Yank faces his toughest challenge yet when a ruthless operative known as Nitro-Man emerges to steal a revolutionary aircraft engine and its formula—nearly outmaneuvering the patriotic champion at every turn. When Joan Farwell uncovers Nitro-Man's hideout, she's captured, forcing the Yank into a desperate rescue mission that leads to a climactic pursuit across the city. Democracy's defender must stop this "human dynamite" before the stolen technology falls into enemy hands.
