In "Blackhawk Sets a Trap for Trapp," the police chief offers Officer Flannigan a big case and a five-hundred-dollar reward to catch a notorious criminal named Bragg, but Flannigan suspects the chief is setting him up and attempts to manipulate the situation by working with a woman and using bait to ensure he can collect the reward without being outsmarted. In "Dogtag," a press reporter encounters Martians invading Earth and is fired by his editor for trying to report the alien invasion, only to discover that a mysterious bearded artist and a young boy are members of a secret order called the Order of the Crossed Eye, whose initiation will take place the following day.
When a whole town is methodically devastated, the Blackhawks pick up a radio distress signal and discover only one name among the carnage: a criminal mastermind called Trapp. Following a trail of clues—including a stolen watch—Blackhawk tracks the ruthless villain to his hideout, where he confronts a murderer who prides himself on leaving no witnesses and no evidence. It's a dangerous game of cat and mouse as the Blackhawks work to stop Trapp before he strikes again.
In "Don't Mansion It!", Torchy steps in to help old Mrs. Bolt, who’s been hired by crooks Finn and Dunn to pretend she’s a witch and spend the night in a supposedly haunted house—just after it was sold. With the house eerie and the stakes uncertain, Torchy must navigate the spooky setup without letting the ruse unravel.
When Ezra Jones gets word he's been initiated into the Secret Order of the Crossed Eye, he panics—especially when a mysterious shadow starts following him around to make sure he goes through with a list of outrageous "atrocities." Determined to complete the initiation and lose his pursuer, Ezra shows up at his girlfriend Myrna's house ready to dominate her father, Mr. Moore, only to find the whole thing spiraling into chaos in ways he never expected. It's a wild ride of misunderstandings and mayhem as this teen tries to survive his own initiation day.
