"Malted-Mixup" follows Toni Gay as she begins dramatic school while working at a malt shop, where a new handsome posture instructor creates romantic complications.

A third story involves teenagers discovering a missing boy named Charlie Brown in connection with a newspaper mystery and a football game. The issue showcases typical 1950s teen romance and adventure scenarios across its multiple short stories.
When a mysterious sea creature dubbed the "Durantus Finnus" turns up in the school pool, Honey Bunn and her classmates scramble to deal with the chaos—especially after a prank gone wrong leads to a frantic race to catch the beast before the biology professor discovers the truth. With the school's entire semester on the line, Honey Bunn hatches a wild plan to lure the creature back using a secret bait, leading to a chaotic fishing expedition that turns the entire student body into unlikely sea captains.
In a lighthearted mix-up at a drugstore, Toni accidentally swaps places with Butch Dykeman after a clumsy mishap involving a mosquito and a boil, leading to a series of misunderstandings when Butch’s new, handsome drama instructor arrives. As Toni, now in Butch’s body, tries to keep up appearances, Eve Ardor takes notice and begins pursuing Butch—only to be thwarted by a jealous Toni who’s determined to protect her secret. The story unfolds with playful chaos and mistaken identities, all centered around a mysterious maligned malted and a surprising twist of identity.
In "null" from *Popular Teen-Agers* #7 (1951), Eve—now studying in England—crosses paths with a young man in need of funds to continue his education. When she discovers he’s selling his furniture to make ends meet, she devises a clever plan to help him by persuading the Dean to purchase it.
