Silver Streak Comics #13 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. One story involves a man in a green suit committing murder and evading a pursuing figure in silhouette through various acrobatic confrontations. Another story centers on Dickie Dean and an inventor named Mr. Wolf who has created a photo-lightning machine that can shoot lightning bolts; when the sickly Mr. Burke entrusts his inventions to Wolf, the villain plans to use the device for nefarious purposes until Dickie and his companions intervene. A third story follows Presto, a character who must rush home to his father, declining dinner invitations and arranging a car ride while concerned about family matters and a potential marriage.
