Synopsis for Doll Man: "The Metropolis Museum Mystery"
Darrel Dane is outwitted and framed by an art thief, calling himself "Sidney Ambrose, Director of the Metropolis Museum." (The real Museum Director is Mr. Carruthers; Dane didn't even check that.) Dane is ambushed and arrested by museum guards, figures out how he's been set up, takes a pill, shrinks, and escapes by crashing through a closed window. Meanwhile "Ambrose" and his gang have taken advantage of the distracting fistfight between Darrel and the guard staff to steal a bunch of Goya paintings, and are now escaping in a big sedan. Doll Man spots them and leaps aboard. When they arrive at the gang's hideout, which is full of stolen art pieces, Doll Man beats up the gang then calls the cops on them.

Synopsis for The Clock: "The Shooting of Ted Holt"
Brian O'Brien, Ace Criminologist, is called on by Ted Holt, an old friend, for help in dealing with some blackmailers. They meet at their elegant club, where Ted gets shot by a sniper, shooting from a building across the street. O'Brien and Captain Kane charge outside, and a car chase ensues, out into the countryside. Kane's shooting causes the getaway car to veer off the roadside and down a steep bank; one thug is killed and the other gets away.
Back in town, the Clock visits Holt in the hospital, and learns about the blackmailer calling himself "the Reaper." The Clock is the same size, shape, and tuxedo as Holt's old friend Brian O'Brien, and he talks with the same posh affectations, but Holt doesn't seem to make the connection. Once he's sure of where to find the blackmail gang boss, the Clock raids his hideout, knocks out and ties up two henchmen, and confronts the Reaper with gun in hand. He turns the whole gang over to the police, after having a little ventriloquistic fun at Officer Hogan's expense.
