Police Comics #79 features a Plastic Man story in which the hero encounters Eaglebeak, a kidnapper and criminal mastermind, whose machinations involve hypnotized Hindu servants and a plot centered around the Panama Canal. The issue also includes a humorous backup story about a character named Woody and his friend Bumps attempting to impress women with a repaired limousine, which leads to comedic misadventures at a social gathering. The Plastic Man narrative showcases his elastic abilities as he pursues Eaglebeak through jungle terrain and alongside the Canal, ultimately thwarting an explosive trap set by the villain.
