Mystery of the Midgets
11 pp · crime; sports

Jack Armstrong enters a mysterious series of crashes plaguing the midget auto races and decides to test his new red racer on the dangerous speedway. When a sinister warning and a sabotaged steering mechanism nearly cost him his life, Jack and his associate Vic Hardy uncover a scheme that goes deeper than rough driving. With the help of the police and some clever detective work, they expose the truth behind the "accidents" and bring the real culprit to justice.

The Case of the Pinpoint Map
5 pp · crime

When a holdup victim is kidnapped and later released blindfolded, Vic Hardy uses the man's fragmented memories—church bells, billiard balls, squeaking chairs, and a glimpse of a movie marquee—to construct a pinpoint map that triangulates the criminals' hideout. By methodically plotting each clue onto the map with colored pins, Hardy narrows down the search area and closes in on the gang's location. It's a masterclass in how keen observation and scientific deduction can turn scattered details into solid evidence and justice.
