This anthology issue contains multiple science fiction stories, including "The Eagle," in which the protagonist battles enemy spies and uses anti-gravitational wings to pursue a saboteur whose plane he shoots down in flames; "Dr. Doom," featuring a villain and his weapon hidden in grass on a hill, with army volunteers being called to march and drag heavy artillery up a steep incline to reach it; and a space adventure involving a character aiming at a transferred city and using twin asteroids with magnet rays, which crash together and destroy all life on the surface, ending the civilization of Duotania.
