When a masked bandit begins terrorizing the territory and kidnaps Molly Sage, both Billy and the Dude set out on the trail, but Billy discovers something troubling: brass knuckles hidden in the Dude's pocket, and a reason to suspect the flashy stranger isn't quite what he seems.

When Speedy Hopper runs for mayor of Hilltop High in a student-run city election, he's confident—until his girl Ginger Sparks switches her support to the smooth-talking Sylvester Snead, and even his best pal Dud abandons him for the rival campaign. After losing the election and getting stuck with the job of Chief Garbage Collector instead, Speedy throws himself into the work with unexpected results. Written by uncredited creators, this 1949 humor tale follows a scrappy teen discovering that sometimes the job nobody wants leads to exactly the kind of recognition that matters.

Donning his costume while Bob Benton is away at a convention, Tim infiltrates Madame Zubar's séance by posing as a desperate client—one with a very specific and urgent request. What unfolds is a clash of wits and quick thinking as the Kid Terror turns the tables on the scheming medium and her accomplice, with Janet caught in the middle of the danger.

Man's First Boat

In the dawn of human civilization, a hungry tribe faces an impossible choice: venture across a river they've never crossed to find food on the far side. What begins as a desperate leader's bold experiment with a simple log becomes a series of ingenious innovations—hollow boats, oars, and finally a sturdy raft—each invention born from necessity and the courage to challenge the unknown waters. As the tribe discovers the wind's power to aid their journey, they glimpse a wider world waiting to be explored beyond their homeland.
