This issue contains four serial stories: Loring Brent's "Bringing the Boom to Vingo" (Part One of three), "The Call to Arms" (Part Two of three), "Paid in Advance" (Part Five of six), and "Eyes West!" (Part Four of four). There is one complete novelette, "The Stolen Plane" by Richard Howells Watkins, described as a "remarkable flying story." Five short stories follow, including titles such as "Far Above Rubies," "The Despised Comet," "The Sheriff Stays at Home," "The Roving Diplomat," and "Dumb Is as Dumb Does" by Ellen Hogue and Jack Bechdolt. The issue also includes verse by various poets. The opening installment of "Bringing the Boom to Vingo" introduces Jane Holly, a wealthy amber-eyed woman from the North, who arrives in the small town of Vingo wearing a fifteen-thousand-dollar sable coat.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
