"Phantom Lady" by Gregory Page involves a fire at a modern office building where insurance agent Mister Inkster's client's apartment is well-equipped with fire-proof systems, leading the Phantom Lady to investigate the case. "Jo-Jo Congo King" by Lew Ford follows Jo-Jo, a woman who leaped through a flaming hoop to obtain her dishonorable goal, as she encounters John Burr and becomes involved in a scheme involving insurance fraud and a gun. The Phantom Lady story continues with a character discovering jewels and a doctor's credentials, setting up a confrontation involving a girl and a mysterious fortune.
When the Commissioner summons Rulah to stop a murderous female rustler stealing cattle from border villages, the jungle goddess finds herself trapped in the rustler's scheming web—and discovers that her own loyal panther, Saber, has been turned against her. As Rulah battles to break free from the rustler's grip and expose the truth, the clash between civilized cunning and jungle justice sets the stage for a deadly reckoning.
Tropical Topics takes readers on a factual journey across Africa and India, showcasing the customs, hunting traditions, and spiritual practices of peoples from the Mashonas tribe to the towering Turkana, and from the sacred pilgrimage sites of the Ganges to the devoted religious practitioners of the Himalayas. This non-fiction feature explores the daily life, beliefs, and remarkable characteristics of these diverse cultures in 1948.
When a raging fire breaks out in a supposedly fireproof apartment building, the Phantom Lady investigates—only to uncover a scheme involving arson, insurance fraud, and someone close to the case. As she digs deeper into the twisted plot, she finds herself trapped and racing against time to stop the Fire Fiend before another building goes up in flames.
When a widow seeking fortune crashes her plane into Jo-Jo's jungle, the Congo King rescues her—only to have the woman blind him with acid in her ruthless pursuit of sacred Okana pearls. Now sightless but undeterred, Jo-Jo must navigate the wilderness and stop her from sparking a tribal war, all while racing to restore his sight and peace to the jungle.
When patrolman Dan Garrett stumbles upon a jewelry robbery, he uncovers a sinister plot involving Dr. Charles Gillery, a mental analyst using hypnotic manipulation to turn an unsuspecting woman into his unwilling accomplice in a series of thefts. The Blue Beetle must race against time to stop the doctor's scheme before his latest victim carries out a dream-turned-crime at the city's largest jewelers—and before reporter Joan Mason becomes his next target.
