Synopsis for "The Crook Who Couldn't Be Caught"
Crooks Foxy Firth and Killer Bane team up to commit bigger crimes. When their car crashes after a robbery, they split up, but after he's alone Firth decides there's no reason he should cut Bane in on the proceeds. However, he's terrified of his stronger, ruthless partner finding him and exacting revenge. Firth decides to hide the loot and then get arrested so he can hide out in the one place a crook would never get to him. After several comical mishaps keep him from being arrested, he decides to shoot Captain Marvel Jr. Even though it does no damage, it convinces the young hero he's a dangerous man who needs to be locked up. Then, much to Firth's frustration, it turns out Killer Bane was already arrested and is in the cell next to him. By trying to escape his double-crossed partner, Firth put them right next to each other.

Synopsis for "The Witch of Winter"
A strange cold spell's struck the city in the heart of summer, and Captain Marvel Jr. flies to Shazam's lair to ask the wizard's ghost for guidance. Shazam explains that the week before on Mt. Olympus, Zeus handed out awards to the beautiful goddesses who create the other seasons, but accidentally forgot Winter. Filled with divine fury, Winter imprisoned the other seasons and decreed winter would be the only season thenceforth. Marvel Jr. seizes Winter and flies her around, making her see how miserable everyone is with their livelihoods ruined and lives ticking away because of the merciless cold. Although she pretends to be emotionally unaffected, Winter flies back to the realm of the gods, and shortly afterward the cycle of seasons is restored to normal. She even pretends to be unaffected when Zeus gives her an award too, as winter creates its own kind of beauty.
