Private Pillard can't make it through the obstacle course at Fort Leonard Wood during World War II, and is put on cleaning duty. He finds a copy of USO's Captain America Comics in the closet of supplies, and reads the story of "Captain America Faces The Son Of Egypt" which encourages him to go back and redo the course. In the Captain America story, a demon destroys an American caravan in the Egyptian desert. The action cuts to Captain America, who's defeating "gun runners" at sea, and then goes to the town of Minqar ABD An Nabi to battle a two-headed snake demon Nehbekau.
