In "The Case of the Sleepy Frog," Volton turns the tables on a criminal plot aboard a ship by using a clever ruse—sending out a fake offer to sell a stolen platinum formula, luring every crook in the city into a trap. With sharp timing and a touch of misdirection, he sets up a showdown between rival gangs, all chasing a prize that’s not what it seems. Art by Joe Kubert, with a cover by Charles Quinlan Sr., this 1942 issue delivers a classic caper with a twist, all in a 10-cent comic.

In "Underworld, Inc.," a mysterious platinum formula vanishes aboard a ship, prompting Volton to intercept a coded message from a professor claiming it’s for sale—only to send a matching signal to Gangland, Inc. in a clever trap. As rival criminal factions converge on the vessel, chaos unfolds, but the real twist lies in the formula’s unexpected nature.
