"Rubbernose Randolph" follows a character attempting to become a fireman who fails the job interview when a small child extinguishes a fire, proving him unsuitable. "Kanvasback Kenny Takes a Lacing" depicts a boxer named Kenny who is too drunk to fight Tiger Miller in a championship match, leading his manager to substitute him. "Richard Private Dick and the Bookcase" shows the detective Richard Richard investigating a missing book, discovering that Professor Columbic is actually the town's biggest book collector trying to acquire a rare Shakespeare first edition. The issue promises additional stories featuring Captain Kid, Jetsam Joe, and other comic characters.
Rubbernose Randolph tries his luck landing a job as a fireman, but the fire chief isn't impressed by the kid's boasts about his nose-smelling abilities and ladder-climbing skills. When Randolph finally proves himself with one decisive action, he learns there's more to the job than he bargained for.
In "A Quiet Day in the Tropics," Joe finds himself caught in a whirlwind of chaos during a brief shore leave in a Latin American port, where a sudden revolution thrusts him into the role of Presidente—only to see it all unravel as swiftly as it began. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with brisk, surreal energy, blending absurdity and adventure in a single, unforgettable day.
When a rare Shakespeare First Folio vanishes from Professor Golumbic's collection, private detective Richard Richard and his quirky team—his assistant An-Choo and his mutt Flub Dub—set out to nab the prime suspect, the jealous Dr. Sprince. What follows is a slapstick investigation full of mistaken deductions, flying dictionaries, and chases that test whether this detective trio can actually solve a case or just stumble into the solution.
