Police Comics #33

Plastic Man races to stop a gang of villains—Sammy, The Hood, Al, and Pete—who’ve stolen a secret radio-controlled fighter plane model, using a decoy toy to mislead him. As he tracks them to their fortified hideout, he discovers their plan hinges on a hidden surprise, and his usual elasticity may not be enough to overcome their trap.

In a brief 1944 wartime moment of humor, soldier Dewey, on leave and fed up with sailor taunts, swears revenge on the next navy uniform he sees—only to face off against a surprisingly tough WAVE who matches his attitude with equal grit.

In a 1944 tale of deception and insurance fraud, a man posing as Sam Steele is found dead under suspicious circumstances, leading Police Comics' Manhunter to unravel a web of mistaken identity and murder. As the investigation reveals the victim was poisoned and the insurance payout hinges on a double-indemnity clause, Manhunter tracks down the real mastermind behind the scheme—Louis Hackwell—while a nervous attorney, Benjamin Slump, tries to cover his tracks.

The Human Bomb, disguised as a civilian, tries to enjoy a quiet moment with his partner Hustace Throckmorton when a group of thugs hijack a new invention—a sugar-free soft drink—intending to steal its formula. As chaos erupts and the duo is captured, the Human Bomb’s memory briefly fails, leaving him unaware of his own identity, but his explosive powers still kick in when he’s provoked, leading to a wild, slapstick showdown.
