"The Red Bee" follows Michael the Bee as he battles gangsters and corrupt officials, engaging in a rampaging fight that results in his capture and subsequent escape. "Hercules" depicts the strongman hero ensnared in a gasoline-soaked net trap, set alight by an evil hand, and subsequently engaged in a rescue mission involving a woman named Laura and a character called Sister Nichols, with action culminating in aerial trapeze combat.
When Stormy Foster delivers medicine to Death Valley, he discovers a murdered prospector—and the shots came from King Korman's Castle, where the ruthless Count Manfred Von Grebe has built a secret wartime outpost. The Great Defender changes into his crime-fighting gear and storms the fortress alone, battling Von Grebe's armed crew and uncovering a deadly operation hidden within the canyon stronghold.
Tootin's Goldfish is a quirky little tale where Dan Tootin unveils a marvel: a goldfish that can supposedly detect gold deposits anywhere in the world. When word gets out, greedy operators follow him to test the invention—only to discover the fish has a very different kind of treasure in mind. It's a one-page laugh that proves sometimes the greatest discoveries lead to the most unexpected paydays.
Doug Strange, ex-Scotland Yard inspector, and his twin brother Rod have a knack for matching wits against crime—and when they get wind of the "Top-Hatters" mob's scheme to steal a valuable stamp collection, the brothers find themselves caught in a chase that spans from city streets to a golf course. With Rod pinned down by the gang and Doug held captive, the twins will have to use every trick in their arsenal to outmaneuver their quarry and bring the mob to justice.
