Synopsis for "Captain Marvel Battles An Unknown Killer"
A Dr. Groon is kicked out of the medical profession for his radical theories. He claims to have unlocked the science of brain transplantation, and vows to make those who mocked him pay. Later Dr. Groon attacks Dr. Nelson to exact his revenge but is intercepted by Captain Marvel. The hero notes the assailant's hairy hands and feet and uncanny agility, but he gives Marvel the slip. Next Groon attacks Dr. Kane, but Captain Marvel catches him again, and in the scuffle his mask comes off, revealing a gorilla. The ape claims to be the result of Groon's transplant techniques, but because of his bestial nature has a cavalier attitude toward killing. Having also killed Groon and thrown his body in the river, so he says, and falls asleep in his chair. Kane and Marvel discuss what to do, but the ape was only playing possum and escapes through the window.
The ape goes after the last doctor who drummed out Groon, and is once again caught by Captain Marvel. This time another mask comes off, revealing it's just been Dr. Groon masquerading as a killer ape the whole time. It was done because if people thought Groon was dead, he could exact his revenge and disappear to start over somewhere else without a manhunt for him ensuing. One the air, Billy explains Captain Marvel figured it out because Groon had been run out of the business for being a quack. Therefore, he couldn't really be a genius brain surgeon.
