This issue of Adventure features fiction by established pulp writers including Thomson Burtis, Rafael Sabatini, John D. Swain, and others. The lead novelette, "When Good Fellows Get Together" by Thomson Burtis, concerns air pilots and crooks operating near the Mexican border during the 1920s, following an Artillery officer who joins the Air Service border patrol. Rafael Sabatini contributes "Don Diego Valdez," a tale of Caribbean pirates confronting cannon fire. Additional stories include "Four of Them Were Foolish" by John D. Swain (a fighting narrative), "Chivalry of the Wild" by F. St. Mars (involving hunger), and "The Black Quag" by Arthur Mallory (a complete novelette centered on a swamp setting). The issue also includes verse, western history, and African geography articles, plus regular reader services like the advice column "Ask Adventure."
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
