This anthology issue contains multiple adventure stories including "The Hawk," in which the titular character is shot down over Nazi-occupied territory and must evade German soldiers while being pursued by enemy forces who threaten to execute him as a demonstration to local resistance fighters. The issue also features "Sheena—Jungle Queen" and other action-adventure tales set in exotic locations, along with espionage and wartime intrigue narratives typical of Fiction House's adventure-focused publications.

When Sheena encounters her old friend Chief Wala in the jungle, his dying wish sets her on a collision course with Rogo, an ambitious warrior who'll stop at nothing to seize tribal leadership—even if it means striking a dangerous bargain with German soldiers passing through the territory. As Rogo's treachery unfolds and Sheena fights to protect the Kongo people from both internal betrayal and foreign exploitation, she must navigate a web of greed, vengeance, and wartime intrigue that threatens to tear the tribe apart.

Stuart Taylor and Laura race back through time to 15th-century Rome when they spot their father Dr. Hayward accepting a glass of wine from the infamous Lucrezia Borgia—who's notorious for poisoning her husbands. What begins as a frantic rescue mission spirals into a dangerous game of deception as Stuart must pose as the Duke Ferrara to outmaneuver Borgia and her deadly schemes, all while evading palace guards and uncovering the poisoner's cruel methods. The time travelers find themselves trapped in the very palace where death lurks around every corner, fighting their way toward an escape that's anything but certain.
