Mr. Morris is threatened by Spy Smasher with death because he was called to Washington D.C. to organize U.S. radio for its part in the defense program. Billy decides to call on Captain Marvel to act as bodyguard but in disguise. Although Morris averts danger, Marvel learns that Spy Smasher has stolen the army's newest and most secret weapon: a gas so deadly that there is no defense against it.
