An anthology of four action stories featuring Uncle Sam and his sidekick Buddy. The lead story, "Uncle Sam Against Blackout," depicts a confrontation with a villainous enemy figure called Blackout who operates in darkness to terrorize American cities. In a subplot, Buddy receives a letter from someone named Susie in Noo Yawk, leading to comic complications involving a newspaper article and Buddy's attempts to impress her. A separate story follows Uncle Sam on a military mission where he encounters a Nazi operative named Lieutenant Gray; Uncle Sam boards a flight from Dover Cliffs to intercept German bombers and releases bombs from his aircraft carriage in a climactic aerial battle. The issue showcases wartime propaganda and patriotic adventure typical of 1943 Quality Comics publications.

Blackout (villainintroduction)

Uncle Sam and his pal Buddy travel the nation hunting saboteurs, and their latest quarry is Blackout—a cunning villain who strikes only under cover of test blackouts, using the darkness to damage America's war production. When Blackout targets the Brooklyn Navy Yard and later an aircraft factory in Detroit, Uncle Sam must outthink an enemy who vanishes into shadow, armed only with a schedule of coming blackouts and his unshakeable determination to stop him.

Death for the Daredevil Squadron

When a mysterious force destroys an entire squadron of RAF bombers over the Channel—planes that never even reach their target—Uncle Sam joins forces with the British to uncover a sinister Nazi plot. As assassination attempts pile up against Lieutenant Gray, Uncle Sam realizes the answer lies in the sabotaged aircraft themselves, and he'll have to stop a bombing run mid-flight to prove it. With the Daredevil Squadron's next mission hanging in the balance, Uncle Sam races to expose the enemy agents embedded in their own ranks before another flight is lost.
