Plastic Man #50 (1954)

In "Trio of Tyranny," Plastic Man faces off against a global web of espionage when NKVD chief Iron Fist deploys his agents—Crusher in Tokyo and Saber in Cairo—to halt Ambassador Faulkner’s pro-democracy tour. With each threat thwarted in turn, the villain’s campaign culminates in a desperate, self-inflicted defeat in Rome.

Plastic Man investigates the legend of the Monster of Llendwymorra after a series of mysterious sea incidents, only to discover the so-called beast is actually a clever disguise used by the notorious smuggler Dutyfree Schultz. As Plastic Man and his partner Woozy pursue the phantom monster across the waves, they unravel a scheme that turns the myth into a high-stakes game of deception and daring.
