An anthology featuring multiple stories: "The Thing in the Pit" depicts a creature of darkness from an ancient Indian curse dedicated to destruction, which attacks a village of giants and threatens the tribe of Akani until giants battle the entity. A Blue Bolt story shows the masked hero tracking a Nazi agent through city streets who has stolen a weapon and is being pursued. "Rocket Ship X" follows characters Bowes, Pearson, and Anderson as they contend with a rapidly growing ivy plant aboard their vessel that threatens to choke them, ultimately leading to chaos in the city below when the plant descends and terrorizes the populace.
