☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains three main stories: "Tex Granger in Rustlers' Roundup," in which Tex Granger and his boss pursue cattle rustlers and criminals including the escaped Jim Collins; "Perils of Pauline," featuring a girl who becomes trapped in dangerous situations including near-drowning and encounters with criminals at a bowling alley; and "Streaky Smith Races Against Death," a story involving racing action. The issue also includes a prose fiction piece about a character named Waba encountering a wolverine and an owl in a swamp setting.
Streaky Smith, a counselor at the Pinetree Fresh Air Camp, works tirelessly to teach underprivileged boys swimming and canoeing—skills that might one day save their lives. When a wealthy industrialist visits the camp to consider funding, his initial skepticism about the value of such recreation is about to be tested in the most dramatic way possible. Streaky's dedication to water safety becomes far more than just good instruction when a dangerous situation unfolds on the lake.
Pearl White, Queen of the Old-Time Movie Serials, began her daredevil career as a stage player—but when she followed her friend Julia into the world of motion pictures, Pearl soon became a sensation performing death-defying stunts in the thrilling serial "Perils of Pauline." With her leading man Mike at her side and her heart set on him, Pearl performs increasingly dangerous acts, but a tragic accident on stage in Paris threatens everything she's built.
Bigbrain Billy springs into action when Mayor Hartley calls on him to help uncover a threat against Midvale's city treasury—a rumor that crooks plan to either steal the secret alarm system or exploit a flaw within it. Using his scientific smarts and a clever scheme involving the city hospital's X-ray equipment, Billy sets a trap during a secret council meeting to catch the culprit red-handed. It's a race against time as the young genius works to protect the city's most valuable asset before the criminal can strike.
