"Sally O'Neil" by Al Bryant follows a policewoman who encounters a seemingly unhinged character but discovers he is actually a criminal mastermind; she pursues him through various comedic misadventures including a burning building and a car chase. Another story features Uncle Sam investigating a murder plot involving a bullet wound and a bomb at a funeral, working to uncover the culprits and establish an alibi. The issue also includes "The Barker," in which the title character demonstrates to Benny the Beep that the circus is no place for fun.
When a jewel thief fleeing the police takes shelter at Colonel Lane's Mammoth Circus, he sets off a chain reaction of chaos—and accidentally frames the circus owner himself! The Barker teams up with Peaches and the circus folk to track down the real crook before Colonel Lane takes the fall, leading to a wild hunt through the big top and beyond.
G-2 agent Captain Don Leash has infiltrated Camp Chotsu, the Japanese military's supposedly escape-proof prison camp, with a dangerous mission: rescue Dr. Gates, a scientist whose knowledge is crucial to American intelligence. When Dr. Gates falls genuinely ill and risks execution, Leash and fellow prisoner Major Kyle must act fast, improvising a daring escape plan even as Japanese guards tighten security around the camp. With alarms blazing and danger closing in from all sides, the three men race against time to break through the camp's triple defenses and reach safety.
