While looking for a team of lost surveyors in the Rocky Mountains, Captain Marvel discovers the "Kingdom of Pioneers," a society who 300 years ago declared independence from the nations of Europe, and think it's still the colonial era. When Captain Marvel declares their town is part of the United States of America, whether they like it or, the king declares war and sends Captain Marvel back to civilization to report this development. After Marvel and the man at the war office laugh themselves silly, Marvel's dispatched to handle this matter because the war department hasn't gotten the personnel to spare for something so trivial. When he effortlessly defeats their army of ten men, he then punches out the prime minister pushing for further war, and the Kingdom of Pioneers accepts admission into the United States.
