Carl Burgos is stuck for a story when suddenly Torch and Toro spring to life from his drawing board. They give him an idea for mocking Hitler and Martin Goodman approves it. Torch and Toro guard the comic books from Nazi attempts to destroy them as they are distributed from planes to German citizens. Hitler orders anyone who laughs at the comics to be shot and demands Carl Burgos be assassinated. Carl meets with Torch, Toro and Sub-Mariner at a diner where a Nazi agent has replaced the soda jerk. Carl collapses after drinking the soda. Torch and Toro apprehend the spy and Carl recovers.
