"Captain Condor: Space-Man of the Unknown Moon" follows Captain Condor and his comrade Pete as they land on an uncharted moon and encounter hostile armored creatures called Armorbats; after being attacked, Condor uses his ray-gun to escape, but his radio-beamed sword is stolen by an unseen enemy.

The issue also includes "Jingo Jones and His Invisibiliser," a story by Tom Stirling about a boy and his dog encountering a ghost dog on a construction site, and "World-Wide Quiz," a multi-part trivia feature covering geography, animals, and architecture.
