Synopsis for Companions Three: "The Crystal Crashes a Costume Ball"
Ronnie Keller goes to a masquerade ball and the Companions show up too, just in time to stop the Crystal and his flunkies from kidnapping her, but the villain himself escapes through a window. Don escorts Ronnie home, and learns from her that the Crystal wants her to sign over her estate to him. What's more, her guardian, Mr. James, refuses to smear the family name by calling the police. Don's even more suspicious when Mr. James already knows about the Crystal's brazen kidnapping attempt, demands Ronnie come inside and Don leave immediately.
The Companions hide out in the treeline of the Keller estate that night, their patience rewarded when the Crystal and the rest of his henchmen show up to kidnap Ronnie. The trio ambush the villains, and in the course of their fight smash the Crystal's helmet, revealing none other than Mr. James underneath. To Ronnie's disappointment, the Companions depart, as "With the Crystal behind bars, there's nothing left for us but to move on to more trouble."

Synopsis for Zoro, The Mystery Man: "To Save the Dalai Lama"
A young Dalai Lama is kidnapped and held for ransom, so his followers request Zoro's aid. When he gets off the ship some rough types offer to guide him to people he's there to meet, but he notices how they look like a bunch of scruffy bandits. When they stop at an inn for the night, he figures it's probably where the hostage is being held, and he was brought there as well to get him out of the way. After dinner, Zoro barricades the door to his room and slinks out to find the Dalai Lama. Upon doing so, they escape on a horse.
Bizek, head of the kidnapping conspiracy, kidnaps the Dalai Lama's teacher to get revenge. Zoro goes to rescue him but is captured as well. Before Bizek can kill Zoro and get his revenge, Chinese troops show up and arrest Bizek, led there by Cheeta.
