The issue features a Blackhawk story titled "Lifts the Curse of Chorazin," in which the flying squadron confronts a supernatural villain and pursues enemy aircraft. The pages shown also contain a lighthearted romantic comedy story involving characters named Elmer, Torch, and a blonde woman at a beach, followed by a subplot about a popularity contest and romantic entanglements at a soda shoppe. The anthology includes humor and action across multiple narrative threads typical of Quality Comics' era publications.
