Billy and Whitey return from their adventure in Guatemala (where they battled the Mayan monkey-god) and receive a note from Mr. Morris to meet him in Washington D.C. in regards to a secret mission. They are instructed to meet the radio station owner at a masked ball, and he introduces the pair to the ambassador and his daughter. The daughter doesn't realize that her ring contains a secret code, and that is what Captain Marvel must protect until it's delivered to the proper officials.
