Synopsis for Captain Fortune: "Captain Clegg"
In a tavern in Porto Bello, two scurvy rascals pick a fight with Captain Tyrone Fortune and crewman Pierre, in which Pierre is killed. The fight is interrupted by the arrival of Captain Clegg, commander of the murderous brawlers, but not before Fortune skewers one of them. Clegg konks Fortune unconscious with the butt of a pistol and pulls his remaining crewman away. When Fortune regains his wits, he vow to avenge Pierre, and returns to the "Revenge." He and Will Kentshire survey Clegg's sloop, the "Wolf."
That evening the Great Spanish Merchant Fleet weighs anchor and departs from Porto Bellow. The next morning, lookouts report that, during the night, the Wolf has also slipped out of port. Fortune surmises, correctly, that Clegg and his crew are pirates, and he pursues them at full sail. Far ahead of the Revenge, the Wolf has already picked off one Spanish ship, looted it, and burned it.
That night, the Revenge arrives at the scene of the Wolf's second attack on the Merchant Fleet; cannon are already thundering. He sends his crew to general quarters and the Revenge enters the fray. This prompts the outnumbered pirate ship to flee, but it's too late; the Revenge rams the Wolf and Fortune's crew swarms aboard. Captain Fortune personally kills the surviving brawler from the tavern incident, just as Captain Clegg lunges at him with a dagger, but Will Kentshire shoots Clegg dead before he can strike.

Synopsis for Doll Man: "Dr. Rodent and the Harbor Bombings"
Dr. Rodent trains rats to carry bombs aboard cargo ships, detonates them, and then loots the sunken ships with a crew of divers, and a harbor-bottom-crawling armored tank, with windows. These rats are strapped with traditional-design, small, spherical, black bombs, with long fuses, and they just run up the ropes to the ships. These bombs are each small enough to be carried by a rat, so there must be a lot of them expended on each ship attack, of which there have already been five in this month.
Doll Man figures out what's going on, rides a rat into the scene of the next bombing, disrupts the bombing, and arrests Dr. Rodent. The police confiscate his underwater tank.
