Synopsis for "Captain Marvel and Uncle Marvel's Wedding!"
Underworld boss Aunt Minerva is so angry she isn't even accepting her cut of every gang's crimes, instead physically throwing most of the men out for bringing in such meager pickings. She's despairing at there being no real men left, until she sees a flyer for Shazam Inc., and since they do impossible jobs she decides to hire them to find her a suitable husband!
Meanwhile, crook Handsome Harry has a similar idea: hiring Shazam Inc. to get Minerva off the streets for him, and visits Dudley at the same time Minerva does with her request. Captain Marvel easily overpowers Harry, but when Dudley pretends to transform, Minerva actually does the work disarming and de-pantsing an underling with her sharpshooting, allowing Dudley to knock him out with a well-placed punch. Unfortunately, this causes Minerva to develop an infatuation on Dudley. She immediately starts planning their wedding, causing a terrified Dudley to first think of suicide, but thankfully notices a phone and calls Billy with their location first. Easily withstanding her bullets, Cap keeps her busy long enough for Dudley to call the police and haul her in.

Synopsis for "Captain Marvel and the World's Wickedest Witch!"
Sterling Morris tells Billy a story about how an ancestor of his trapped an evil witch in a cave. Which was recently opened by an earthquake, unfortunately, and the witch comes after Morris for revenge. She uses magic to turn herself beautiful to get a job as Morris' new secretary, and tries to use her magic to kill him, like by turning his chair into a man-eating bear. Captain Marvel's on hand and protects Morris from the worst of it. The witch lures Billy to a swamp where they both fall into a quicksand pit. He changes and escapes, but the witch drowns.
