14 pp · science fiction
Captain VideoVideo Ranger

Captain Video and the Video Ranger pursue a mysterious glow on the dark side of the moon, only to discover an underground chamber harboring green creatures from Deimos bent on conquering Earth with weapons aimed from the lunar surface. Forced to map Earth's atomic plants under threat, Captain Video devises a desperate plan using salvaged suit components to turn the invaders' own vulnerability to heat against them. Now the two earthmen must race to escape before the lunar base—and their captor's last-ditch gambit—destroys everything around them.

Lost and Found

Airfield Alunnamed pilotHutch (mentioned)

Airfield Al gets into a heated dispute with Hutch, a big mechanic, that ends with a punch to the mouth—and a shocking discovery about what Al lost in the fight. This quick-witted 1951 humor tale delivers the kind of slapstick payoff that made Captain Video's world so entertaining.

Sudden Death
4 pp · western-frontier
Rod Cameron

Rod Cameron rides into town at the sheriff's request to investigate a string of suspicious "accidental" deaths befalling saddle tramps—and discovers the victims all carried insurance policies from a local outfit. When a scheme to frame Cameron as a wanted outlaw goes sideways, the Knight of the Saddle must prove what the sheriff has begun to suspect: that Walsh and Cadden are orchestrating murders for profit.

Pilot Petewoman

When Pilot Pete gets cornered by a talkative woman, he devises an outrageous tall tale about a plane crash in South Africa—complete with a tribe that'll make her think twice before opening her mouth again. It's a quick, clever bit of aviation humor from 1951 that proves sometimes the best escape plan is a good story.
