When Doll Man and Martha Roberts arrive at a lawn party where the mysterious puppeteer Bombasto is performing his "almost human" marionettes, Darrel's suspicions turn to horror—those aren't dolls at all, but shrunken human victims. Captured and separated from Martha, the pint-sized hero must use his wits and speed to infiltrate Bombasto's mansion, outwit the villain and his accomplice Giuseppe, and rescue the woman the puppeteer plans to add to his grotesque collection.

Poison Ivy has built the world's smallest and fastest fighting plane, and sets out to cross the ocean and stop a war in Plutonia—but the fearless pilot of Takeoveria, the Black Wolf, has other plans and intercepts the craft mid-flight. When bullets prove too slow to catch the speedy plane, Poison must outmaneuver a far more dangerous aerial opponent to reach his destination.

Sergeant Reynolds of the Mounted Police lends his expertise to a film crew shooting "Call of the North" on location, but when the movie's leading lady vanishes and Reynolds himself is ambushed, he uncovers a far more sinister plot: cattle rustler Duke Jackson has kidnapped the actress and forced an extra into his criminal scheme. As Reynolds races to warn his allies and stop Jackson's raid on a nearby ranch, he devises a clever plan that turns the movie production itself into the perfect cover for an operation that blurs the line between Hollywood and real-world justice.

Bruce must stay sharp and navigate a dangerous web of espionage before the enemy can silence him.

When jewel merchant Gerald Carder turns up dead in his ship's cabin aboard the liner Santa Diosa, the crew is baffled—there's no weapon, only faint signs of electrical shock.
