Keen Detective Funnies #22 is an anthology featuring multiple detective and adventure stories. "The Masked Marvel" leads the issue with the hero deliberately crashing his plane into a bomber to save lives. "Spy Hunters" features Captain Forsyth and Sergeant MacLean on a World War I front-line mission where they visit an icebox dugout and encounter enemy soldiers, with soldiers patrolling in the dark and fear of death mentioned. A third story involves a girl named Betty Engel whose father, a trapper, discovered a large fortune hidden in a mountain cave on a map; after her father's death, others raid the cabin and kill him, forcing Betty and associates to search for the other half of the map to find the hidden gold.

Dean Denton, America's foremost scientific detective, arrives in Paris after solving a counterfeiting case in London, only to find the French government baffled by a mysterious shell that strikes the city with terrifying precision from enemy lines 150 miles away. Using an infra-red camera and keen observation, Dean begins to unravel the puzzle—but discovers the real threat lies not in the distant fortifications, but hidden far closer to home. Racing against the clock through the city's abandoned sewers, he must stop a sabotage operation before the next building falls.
