Synopsis for "Captain Marvel Fights the Flying Disk Danger"

After dinner, Pa Potter goes into the backyard to watch for flying saucers. Soon he spots a real one, and Captain Marvel goes to meet it when it makes a rough landing. Out of it come ragged slaves who say they've come to ask for help, but are killed by a heat ray from the ship they'd been fleeing before they can say anymore. Marvel puts his intelligence to the task of figuring out how to fly the saucer, which allows him to see more like it above Antarctica, where men from another planet are stealing pieces of the ice shelf! They manage to escape with their ill-gotten ice when stealing so much of Antarctica's mass causes the planet to become unbalanced and start to shake from its orbit! Captain Marvel commandeers a planetoid of equivalent weight and uses that to make up the difference, then pursues the saucer men to their own planet. There he finds out people are stealing the ice at the behest of their evil king, since the planet's so close to its sun, that's the only way they aren't all burned to a crisp. After leading a coup to overthrow the evil king, Captain Marvel pushes the planet to a habitable distance.

Synopsis for "Captain Marvel and the Horrible Haunted Armor"

An antique dealer runs a shop across the street from the antique shop Billy's landlord runs, but his offers to buy the place are rebuffed. He schemes to eliminate Mr. Potter by putting him inside a haunted suit of armor, so that when Captain Marvel attacks the rampaging menace, he'll unwittingly kill the innocent man inside! Learning what's going on, Captain Marvel avoids attacking the animate armor until Billy manages to stick it to the ground with tar from a construction site. He's then able to safely tear the armor open and mash it into a useless ball before arresting Mr. Potter's unscrupulous rival.

Synopsis for "Captain Marvel Battles the World's Maddest Ghost!"

Sivana tries to bomb Billy's office, but the boy's forewarned by a new invention from Dexter Knox that sounds an alarm whenever the villain's nearby. When Captain Marvel pursues Sivana's helicopter, it crashes into a cliff and the evil scientist dies, but Marvel brings his body back to civilization to ensure he gets a proper burial. Standing over his grave, however, Captain Marvel's shocked when what claims to be Sivana's ghost appears! He claims to want to atone for the evils he committed in life, and lend his genius to Dexter's projects.

Sivana captures both boys and reveals he's still very much alive, faking his death to get their guard down. Before he can finish them off, he's distracted by what sound like police sirens closing in on the property (actually Billy's alarm device, which he threw away when he thought he didn't have to worry about Sivana's attempts on his life anymore). This distraction gives Billy the chance to get his gag off, transform, and capture his archenemy.
