This issue contains two complete adventures. The first features Nyoka setting a flexible steel net trap in her apartment to catch a human gorilla that Professor Orans sent hunting for her, expecting it to return and walk into the snare. The second story, "Jungle Lesson" by Larry Steinfeldt, follows a man named Jerry who returns from war to his family farm, only to leave civilization behind after conflict with his brothers and venture into the jungle, where he encounters dangerous wildlife including baboons and must navigate treacherous terrain.

Nyoka finds herself face-to-face with a talking gorilla—the product of Professor Orang's dangerous experiment to transplant a human brain into a beast's body. Now the creature has turned on his creator, built an army of rifle-wielding gorillas, and demands Nyoka help him infiltrate the colonists' stockade, or die like the professor before him. With only her wits and a steel trap to work with, Nyoka must outmaneuver a foe who's already one step ahead.

Ballyhoo Barney, press agent for the Bungling Circus, dreams up a rigged bottle-toss game to stop customers from winning too many prizes—but his scheme backfires when a pair of crooks use the carnival booth as cover for a much darker scheme. When the stolen prize bear winds up in the wrong hands, Barney gets the last laugh, though not quite in the way he expected.

HarryBarryGaston

At Gaston's French Restaurant, the bumbling Harry and his companion Barry run into a series of comic misadventures when they can't seem to avoid misunderstanding the waiter's service—from taking Harry's request for water too literally to Harry's constant wisecracks that keep getting them in hot water. Their evening spirals into absurdity as Harry's ridiculous tall tales and mixed-up logic clash with Gaston's earnest (if literal-minded) hospitality, leading to a finale where a simple French phrase creates the perfect setup for a punchline neither of them saw coming.
