"Senator Claghorn" features the loud-mouthed politician and his assistant confronting a villain named Mud in a chaotic sequence involving a runaway car and a dog. The second story, "Boy Scouts of America," follows a young cub scout who enjoys circus acts, trick stunts, and campfire activities with his scout troop and father. A separate feature, "The Luckee," presents a contest where readers complete the final line of a story about a magical car that grants wishes, with winners receiving duplicate prizes from the publisher.
Whitey's visit from California throws a wrench into things when the three pals pool their meager allowances to buy a jalopy from Jake the Junkie and start a taxi and delivery service—only to discover that keeping a ramshackle used car running is a lot trickier than they bargained for. Between missing wheels, absent brakes, and a paint job that's anything but two-toned, their dream of easy money hits the road with plenty of bumps along the way.
A young boy named Jimmy gets caught up with a gang of kids who harass newly arrived European refugees on their neighborhood block, but his conscience troubles him. When the radio personality Mr. District Attorney takes Jimmy to see the Statue of Liberty and explains America's true identity as a nation built by immigrants, Jimmy realizes the error of his ways and sets out to make things right. This 1947 story shows how one person's change of heart can inspire a whole group to embrace tolerance and friendship.
