In "Hank Garvin, Man of Steel!", an unsuspecting Hank Garvin is framed as the legendary Steel Man by a cunning gang led by Honest Jack Dugan, Friendly Al Piper, and Harry Dane.

In "The Mighty Mite!", a young boy named Jeremy Kendall finds himself inspired by a traveling circus performer who, despite being small in stature, brings big joy to the children of a children's home.

As he entertains the kids with daring stunts using circus animals, memories of his past come flooding back.
