Synopsis for Bulletman: "Return of the Unholy Three, Part 2"

With Bulletman seemingly dead, the Unholy Three run rampant over the city. They rob a bank, but the hero, still very much alive, trails them to their hideout and saves Susan from being fed into a bank of crushing machinery. The villains escape while Bulletman's distracted saving Susan's life, but a street urchin saw which way their getaway car was going. Bulletman flies ahead of them, then uses his powers to stop the car with a wall of force. A scuffle breaks out, and Bulletman throws the ape into the dwarf, knocking them both off a cliff into the ocean where both are quickly pulled under by the powerful current. Brutus attacks Bulletman to avenge them, but instead quickly joins them, finally putting an end to the villainous trio.

Synopsis for Devil's Dagger: "Mr. H Attacks the Daily Blade

Burton, editor of the Daily Blade, is berating Ken Wyman for having so little information on a new criminal mastermind known only as Mr. H. They ask police reporter Holfax if he might know anything about the master villain, but Holfax demurs. Just as Holfax leaves Burton's office, some of Mr. H's minions break in, just before Mr. H himself makes an entrance. They overpower Burton and Wyman, to make sure the Daily Blade doesn't print anything that might compromise Mr. H's evil secrets.

While dragging their captives into their cars, the villains are spotted by Pat, who saves Ken by rearending the car he's in and giving him a chance to make a break for it. Mr. H has his underlings drive away as the sound of the crash will soon have the police on the scene. While tailing them out to a remote house, Ken slips his bonds and gets into his Devil's Dagger getup. He and Pat burst into Mr. H's hideout, but in the fight they overturn a lantern and the house catches fire. They manage to rescue Burton, but Mr. H has slipped through the hero's fingers.

Synopsis for Companions Three: "The Diamond of Death"

Sandra Kennedy, friend to the Companions, receives a delivery from a servant who promptly drops down dead. A Rajah Kohur reveals it as a huge diamond that, he ominously declares, radiates "rays of death" and kills any who possess it. The Companions aren't impressed by his story of mystic mumbo jumbo, especially when Don flings open the door the deliveryman had entered through and reveals a masked assassin who goes diving out a window to escape his fists. Don volunteers to guard the diamond, secretly in hopes of catching the assassin coming after it again, which Sandra's cousin Darius agrees to.

Come back, the assassin does, shooting Don with a blow dart through the window. Or so it seems at first, as suddenly Don is yanking out the ladder his attacker had used to get at his window. The other Companions show up and help brawl with some henchmen who'd accompanied the masked assassin, and manage to capture one named Dippy Dawkins. The assassin had actually shot a decoy, and from analyzing the dark the determine it's coated with drugs that "make the heart race until you die -- with no clue!" They release Dawkins to tail him back to his boss. News which greatly unsettles Darius and Rajah Kohur, who quickly excuse themselves. The Companions catch the assassin from before in the act of murdering Dawkins, and after a brawl unmask him as Darius, who wanted the giant diamond for himself and came up with the fake legend about its owners falling dead. Sandra has the diamond carved into matching rings for the Companions, since they've shown they can handle any further attempts to steal it.

Synopsis for Zoro, the Mystery Man: "The Throttler"

A millionaire receives a threatening note that his daughter Alice will be kidnapped, but this seems an impossible boast with the army of guards protecting the house. Nonetheless, in the middle of the night, her friend Jeanette is kidnapped by accident. The party responsible calls himself "the Throttler". By hiding inside a suit of armor, Zoro catches the butler and an accomplice coming out of a secret passage (how they slipped by the tight security, who were watching all the known entrances) and gets into a fight. He pursues the butler into a secret passage, bests him in a duel, and makes the Throttler lead him to where they've got the kidnapped girl stashed. After handing the Throttler over to the security personnel, Zoro vanishes, his job done.
