This August 1936 issue of Bedtime Stories contains nine short stories and a reader correspondence section. Featured stories include "Specialty—Nudes!" by Tom Kane; "Picnic Madness!" by Claire Kennedy; "Lucky Seven?" by Bobby Barnes; "Autumn's Knights" by Barnaby Ives; "Perfect Interference" by Mitzi Mason; "Boudoir Buyer" by Georgette Gay; "Love's Double-Cross" by Pepita Derne; "Mind Over Motor" by Gregory Hawthorne; and "Down the Fire-Escape" by Atwater Culpepper. The readable excerpt shows a domestic drama involving Diana Wellfleet, a wealthy idle woman, who meets John Williams, a portrait painter hired by her mother. Their initial encounter is antagonistic but charged with attraction. The issue also includes an advertisement for the U.S. School of Music promoting correspondence instruction, and a "Let's Write" club section featuring reader letters and personal advertisements.
