"The Hoax of Death" depicts investigator Tom Watson uncovering a murder plot involving an electrician named Alec who rigged a trapeze wire to electrocute his rival Jim over a woman named Jane; Alec is caught when he electrocutes himself on the wires while fleeing. Another story involves Detective Dennis investigating a mysterious snake-god statue brought from India by a man named Kasari, which turns out to be the murder weapon when a second corpse is discovered in a locked bedroom. "Ray Hale, News Ace" follows the reporter witnessing a highway robbery and pursuing the criminals to stop them from escaping.
When newlyweds Jim and Jane Jennings, stars of the Carlin-Wells Circus trapeze act, receive a chilling warning from fortune-teller Mother Michaux—the Ace of Spades, the death card—neither suspects how quickly tragedy will strike at their moment of greatest happiness. As jealousy and ambition simmer behind the big top's glittering facade, a deadly conspiracy unfolds that will test whether fate, or something far more sinister, controls their destiny. Detective Tom Watson must uncover the truth before the circus's tangled web of revenge claims another victim.
When a mysterious flying saucer lands in the heart of the city with an alien emissary claiming peaceful intentions, crime-fighter Lance Storm's instincts tell him something isn't right—and his suspicions lead him to uncover a sinister masquerade orchestrated by his old nemesis, Professor Zarno. As Zarno uses the alien hoax to cover his theft of a priceless artifact, Lance races against time to stop the villain before he escapes into the sky. This 1953 adventure pits wits, firepower, and determination in their most desperate confrontation yet.
