In "Putting on the Dog," a clever scheme unfolds when the villain Big Mouth Bo-Bo steals Rollo, a highly trained dog capable of opening doors, and sets him up for adoption by a wealthy family—using the dog’s supposed homelessness as a cover. With Mrs. Herminetta Wallibi caught in the middle, the real challenge isn’t just finding the dog, but uncovering the criminal mind behind the deception.

When Tommy Rogers’ mother asks him to watch little Clarence during her errands, the boy’s curiosity quickly turns to adventure—especially after he witnesses Tommy and his friends, the Blue Boys, transform into the superhero Little Boy Blue. But instead of staying put, Clarence decides to follow them on their mission, leading to a trio of fugitives on the run from the sinister Monk Healey and his henchman Baldy.

After a wild birthday party, Johnny Thunder soothes his little sister Peachy Pet with a bedtime story—Little Red Riding Hood—only for her to spiral into a vivid, food-fueled nightmare. In the dream, she’s Little Red, her mother sends her to visit Grandma, and the Big Bad Wolf lurks in the woods, all while Johnny himself plays the role of Grandma.

In "Warpath," The Whip [Rodney Gaynor] comes upon Yellow Horse, the son of Chief Laughing Dog, severely wounded and left for dead. When he learns the boy's people have been targeted by men posing as chemists—led by the sinister Professor Brahmer and his accomplices Shelby, Daggett, and Charley—the young man's survival becomes a race against a growing threat that could ignite a full-scale conflict on the frontier.

In "Heroes Are Born...Not Made!", Green Lantern and Doiby Dickles are drawn into the quiet tragedy of Baxton when they meet the town’s grieving bell ringer, a man whose hands have gone still until heroism renews his purpose. As the weight of a forgotten past surfaces, the line between sacrifice and legacy begins to blur—especially when the past itself rises in unexpected form.

When a mischievous con man with a history of pranks turns to crime, his latest scheme puts him directly in the path of the fearless Wildcat. With Stretch Skinner caught in the middle, the stage is set for a clash of wits and justice — but can the Wildcat outsmart a villain who’s always one step ahead?

When Bulldog Drumhead finally stands up to his perpetually exasperating partner, Oliver Wendell McDuffy, he finds himself in over his head—literally—when the cunning Leary Leery McSneery turns the tables. A classic clash of wits and wills unfolds as the unlikely duo must outsmart a villain whose schemes are as elaborate as they are absurd.

When famed explorer Robert Cromwell stumbles upon a fortune in emeralds, a clever detective hides the treasure inside an apple—only for it to end up at the stand of fruit peddler Tony. With the Three Dimwits accidentally involved and Jocko Wolf sniffing around, The Flash [Jay Garrick] must race to uncover the truth before the gem is lost for good, all while Joan Williams finds herself in the middle of the chaos.
