Synopsis for Johnny Thunder: "The Map That Wasn't There"
Johnny receives a pie, out of which flies a black canary. He chases it for two hours and when he asks two men if they saw a black canary, they attack him. He is brought to their hideout, and sees the Black Canary, bound and gagged. He is tied up and asked if he knows where the map is. He asks if that was in the pie. The crooks say Black Canary ran into a bakery while being chased, and they take Johnny's wallet to find his address. Johnny and the Canary are put in a cage, which is hung beneath a helicopter. The Black Canary reveals the bird was especially trained, and she hoped when he saw it he would know the pie came from her and hold onto it. The crooks stole charity funds but she stole their map of the loot's location. The crooks drop the cage but Johnny summons the Thunderbolt, who breaks open the cage and flies them to Johnny's house. Johnny accidentally knocks out the two crooks. It turns out the pie has been eaten, but it is then revealed that the canary has the map.

Synopsis for Hawkman: "The Ghost"
Notorious criminal the Ghost carries out daring robberies in different countries all at the same time, leaving authorities baffled, and leaving Shiera demanding they suit up and investigate even though before she'd been demanding Carter take time out to get caught up on his professional obligations. He only agrees after she wins a coin toss! They catch the Ghost's men robbing a bank, but suddenly his voice rings out, ordering Hawkman to back off because his men have captured Hawkgirl. Tracing the voice once the villains are gone, he finds it coming from a tape player, not some otherworldly source.
He follows them to the Tower of London and beats up the gang, but the Ghost doesn't join the fight, and Hawkman reveals it's because he was only an empty suit with a monocle and hat held up by wire. The voice of the villain taunts him again and Hawkman follows it to the bell tower, where the beam the Ghost stands on collapses and he seemingly plunges to his doom. Hawkgirl finds a projector that created the image of the villain falling, but Hawkman's sure he was fighting a very solid man, and doesn't understand why the beam gave way if no-one was really there. Just then the villain laughs and promises they'll meet again someday.
