In 1950, banker Fiduciar P. Smith, overwhelmed by the world’s troubles, digs a hole to escape—only to uncover a centuries-old crypt containing Abraham Pewter, a man who buried himself in 1786. The two unlikely companions form an unexpected bond as Pewter, newly awakened in the modern era, marvels at the world’s wonders, while Smith begins to reconsider his cynicism.
In "The Silent Crime Call," Officer Dan Richards, now operating as the masked vigilante Manhunter, teams up with his loyal canine partner Thor to unravel how a gang intercepted the Longton Corporation's payroll—despite the route being known only to a select few. When a mysterious radio device used to track the money leads them to a hidden rooftop, Manhunter exposes the thieves and reveals the clever, almost invisible method behind the heist.
