This issue is an anthology featuring two main stories. "The Goldbrick" tells of G.I. Joe outwitting Stalin with the help of a character called Broadway Rose during a military operation. "Little Al of the F.B.I." depicts a foreign spy burning U.S. warehouses and mocking the F.B.I. with eerie violin music at disaster scenes, with Little Al working to stop the destruction of vital war supplies and prevent the arch fiend from striking again.

The Goldbrick!
5 pp · War

When Private Joe Burch accidentally offends Sergeant Mulvaney, his punishment is so brutal that he dreams of being kidnapped by Stalin's agents and hauled to the Kremlin—only to discover that the Russian dictator himself could never be as fearsome as his own drill sergeant. This tale explores what happens when a GI's worst nightmares collide with military discipline, all played for laughs as Joe learns there's no escape from Mulvaney, whether in reality or in his sleep.

The Troupers
7 pp · War

When a USO show rolls into a Korean rest area, Sergeant Mulvaney and Private Burch spot a chance for some wartime romance—but their plans go sideways when an escaped prisoner crashes the performance, sending the soldiers on a frantic chase through the chorus girls' dressing room. What starts as a simple mix-up spirals into complications neither of them saw coming, all while the Colonel watches from the audience.

The Tailored Uniform!
7 pp · Humor, War

When Whitey Hicks reports for inspection in a dress uniform that doesn't quite fit, his pal Windy Bragg decides to help—with a bayonet and needle. What follows is a comedy of tailoring mishaps as the two recruits learn that the Army's idea of "made to order" doesn't always match what you'd find on civilian street, and that sometimes the simplest solutions create the biggest problems. It's a humorous take on military bureaucracy and the eternal struggle of finding anything that actually fits in the armed forces.

The Guerilla's Lair!
7 pp · War

G.I. Joe and Sergeant Mulvaney get more than they bargained for when a determined correspondent named Miss Crane persuades them to drive her deep into dangerous guerrilla territory to meet the notorious Mindo. What starts as a reluctant escort mission turns into a harrowing fight for survival when the trio is captured and faces execution—but Joe and the Sergeant hatch a daring trick to turn the tables. It's a wild ride that proves sometimes the most dangerous enemy isn't the one with the gun.

The Gun Slingin' Doll
6 pp · War

Private Joe Burch can't hit a target to save his life during rifle training in Korea—until a mysterious sharpshooter secretly helps him find his aim. When enemy forces attack his sniper position that night, Burch discovers his unlikely benefactor is Miss Winchester, a Western movie star and dead-shot performer, and together they drive back the assault. But when the General demands a public marksmanship demonstration to celebrate the victory, Burch's newfound confidence faces its toughest test yet.

It's A Small World!
4 pp · War

Pvt. Joe Burch and Sergeant Mulvaney are caught in enemy fire during a patrol, and when a shell forces the sergeant to abandon Joe, all seems lost—until Joe miraculously survives and hatches an audacious disguise to slip back through enemy lines. When a jeep carrying an unexpected passenger roars into the American camp, Sergeant Mulvaney gets the shock of his life in this cleverly plotted wartime tale.

Meets the Bandit Queen
7 pp · War

PFC Joe Burch's talent for finding women gets tested in the Korean wilderness when he stumbles upon Olga Stragoff, a White Russian guerrilla leader whose band has been fighting Communist forces since being trapped behind enemy lines. When Olga warns Joe that his patrol is walking into an ambush, the two must team up with her fighters to turn the tables on the enemy—though Joe's cocky confidence may be the real test of the plan's success.
