Captain Midnight #10

Captain Midnight must prevent a catastrophic Nazi invasion when he discovers a secret Channel Tunnel, nearly completed by German sappers intent on breaking through to England. After infiltrating the Nazi headquarters and extracting crucial plans, Captain Midnight works with British forces to turn the tables—preparing a devastating trap that will seal the tunnel and halt the enemy assault. It's a race against time as this world-famous inventor uses both his wits and his arsenal of gadgets to protect the British homeland.

Captain Jim Albright, secretly the masked inventor Captain Midnight, infiltrates Japan by posing as a Nazi diplomat alongside his aide Ichabod Mudd—their mission to uncover the source of Japan's seemingly endless aircraft production. After a harrowing break-in at the Aircraft Ministry and a narrow escape from police custody, the pair are transported to the industrial city of Naski, where they discover a shocking truth about their captors' intentions. Racing against time and the Japanese military, Captain Midnight must use all his scientific ingenuity to survive what awaits him in the heart of the enemy empire.

Captain Albright's latest invention—the Flying Eye, a roving television plane that can scout enemy positions—is dramatically demonstrated to city officials, only to be disrupted when Herr Hacker, a scheming Nazi spy, and his agents attempt to steal the plans during the darkened demonstration. Captain Midnight arrives to fight off the attackers, but Hacker escapes with the blueprints, forcing our hero to use the Flying Eye itself to track down the spy's hidden radio transmitter in the Nevada desert. As Captain Midnight closes in on the mountain hideout where Hacker plans to broadcast the stolen designs to Berlin, the Flying Eye proves its worth once more—this time in a way that could save the captain's life.

Captain Midnight races to solve a series of mysterious murders sweeping the nation—victims found crushed by what appears to be ordinary cherry trees, yet no mechanism can explain their deadly power. When the trail leads to Japanese agents injecting a sinister liquid derived from South American plants, Captain Jim Albright must track the conspiracy from Washington D.C. to the Amazon jungle itself to stop the enemy's devastating scheme. The adventure combines aerial combat, undercover infiltration, and a desperate hunt for the source of the weapon threatening American lives.
