In this 1944 Four Color #34, Chester Gould delivers a taut, early adventure featuring Tracy, who stumbles upon The Professor's hidden workshop—only to be captured by the cunning Stooge Viller. After Viller burns the lab and traps Tracy in an abandoned well, the escaped hero is rescued by Tess Truehart and a troop of Girl Scouts on a countryside outing. With Viller now planning to flee town and take his daughter hostage, Tracy must race against time to stop him, all in a story drawn with the sharp, dynamic style that defines Gould’s distinctive hand.
