☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCaptain Midnight confronts Japanese agents in a swamp who possess braille photographs and film of a poison gas formula. After a tense battle involving a special gag that incapacitates his senses, Captain Midnight pursues the agents across the Pacific to prevent them from delivering the dangerous weapon to Japan. The story concludes with Captain Midnight and his allies debating whether to stop the Japanese operatives or allow them to proceed, ultimately deciding to pursue them for the sake of peace.
Captain Albright's seemingly pointless government project to count mackerel scales becomes the perfect cover for something far more serious when Congressman Pimkin's public crusade against the "waste" forces Captain Midnight to abandon his undercover identity and pursue a dangerous rendezvous at sea. With a German submarine scheduled to deliver espionage plans that night, Midnight must race to intercept the handoff before his cover-up becomes a complete disaster.
Captain Midnight must race to the Manchurian town of Chin Yi to prevent the Japanese from using a rigged plebiscite to claim the endorsement of its revered scholars and gain propaganda advantage across the occupied Orient. When he arrives, he discovers the townspeople have fled to the hills rather than participate—but Captain Midnight challenges them to stand firm and vote their conscience instead. As the broadcast begins, Captain Midnight and his magnetic invention ensure the world hears the truth about what the people of Chin Yi really think.
