"Fearless Fellers" follows the boys—Chuck, Dutch, Fudge, and Inky—on various adventures including a baseball game where Johnson impresses with his hitting, and a dangerous encounter with an armed criminal. "The White Rider's Super Horse" depicts Jerry, Anton, and a plane pilot marooned on a South Sea island, where they must escape from headhunters who have captured Eddie. "Jailsm Bell" features a boxing story in which a fighter nicknamed "Has-Been" defeats an opponent named Braddock in a memorable comeback bout at Madison Square Garden, eventually becoming a contender for Maxie Baer's heavyweight championship.
Kit Carter and Dan Merry scramble to raise funds before Visitors' Day at their academy so they can escort their crush Peggy Slate—but when they launch a uniform-pressing business, rival cadet Chet Phillips sabotages their work and sets his sights on winning Peggy's attention. As the visiting girls arrive, the competition heats up fast, leading to a water-logged showdown and a challenge that threatens to turn into something far more serious than schoolyard rivalry.
Johnny Weissmuller dreamed of becoming a champion swimmer despite his family's modest means, and through sheer determination—joining a local Y and training under top coaches—he transformed himself into the world's fastest swimmer, setting multiple Olympic records throughout the 1920s.

When Edison and Jerry's group finds themselves stranded on a South Sea island, a terrifying encounter with headhunters forces them to scatter and hide—but Eddie soon discovers that the natives' most sacred temple holds the key to their escape. With quick thinking and teamwork, the castaways must outwit their pursuers and turn the island's own mysteries against them before the high priest's dark plans reach their end.
Jim Braddock rises from the streets of Hell's Kitchen to become a promising heavyweight boxer, but his success goes to his head—until a devastating loss to Tommy Loughran threatens to end his career for good. Determined to prove the doubters wrong, Braddock embarks on a remarkable comeback that transforms him from a "has-been" into a genuine championship contender facing the reigning champion.
