Synopsis for Radar the International Policeman: "The Trail of Trouble"
Two surviving Nazis are arrested and sentenced to death for trying to revive the fascist movement. A note's thrown through their window telling them of a sympathizer who'll take them to safety if they break out. In the attempt, one is shot, and the other leaves him behind, believing his Fourth Reich must be even more ruthless than Hitler's. With his mental telepathy, Radar finds out from the betrayed man where they were going to go. They try to bury him by causing a cave-in, but though extreme good luck he manages to avoid being knocked out, and his super-senses detect an air current that Radar follows to another exit. He stows away on board the ship the Nazis are using to escape, radios the international police, then takes control of the wheelhouse and circles in the same waters until backup arrives to collar the entire crew.

Synopsis for Bulletman the Flying Detective: "Bulletman the Flying Detective and the Return of Doctor Carver!"
Lt. Kent finds that Higgins Jewelry Store has been robbed, but they found fingerprints and need Jim Barr to look into them. Jim reports later that they belong to “Slippery” Sam, but when they arrest him, he claims to be “Adhesive Al.” Jim finds that the fingerprints don't match and they're forced to let him go. Lt. Kent notes that he looks just like Slippery Sam and a few nights later, a man fitting his description is reported to have stolen a wallet. When they bring him in, he claims he's a different person living at 710 Hudson St named “Rocky” Roberts. However this time, they find the fingerprints are the same, but the witness says it wasn't this guy at all. Lt. Kent's faith in the Bertillon system of finger-printing has failed him. They soon find Rocky Roberts' fingerprints at a robbery and find “Motionless” Mike there instead, but find that he doesn't have any fingerprints! Thus, Jim looks into things as Bulletman with Bulletgirl in tow, who suggests it's Dr. Carver, the evil plastic surgeon, at work.
Sure enough, Dr. Carver has created a new form of plastic surgery requiring no bandages and taking few minutes and the man responsible, “Slippery” Sam, thanks him for his help in consistently changing his identity. The Bullets are stumped for now and Bulletman puts on a fedora and high-collared coat to go to Jack's Pool Room and finds from goons there that Dr. Carver is working at 819 Leader St and to say “Little” Willie sent him. Dr. Carver notices his Gravity-Regulator Helmet. He straps him into the machine to fix his fingerprints, but it just holds him still while he plans to run a scalpel on his face. His other two goons rush in and enjoy the show while Bulletgirl takes a quick picture of them from outside and shoots her way into the skylight to attack Dr. Carver. Bulletgirl frees him and the Bullets together clean house and arrest Dr. Carver too. The next day, Lt. Kent thanks the Bullets for putting away nearly half the goons in town and sending Dr. Carver back to the madhouse! Susan hopes that they don't run into him again.

Synopsis for Captain Marvel, Jr.: "The Secret of the Sphinx!"
Jimmy Webb never comes out to play with his friends anymore, being too depressed about his father's disappearance. Freddy asks after this, and is told his father's an archeologist who traveled out to the great Sphinx monument, but was never seen again. Using Jimmy's backup copy of the map his father followed, Freddy transforms and flies out to the Sphinx to see if he can learn anything. Immediately he learns an unfriendly party's hiding out in the statue's vicinity when someone tries to shoot him. Finding passages in the monument's eye sockets, Captain Marvel Jr. ventures inside, and finds gangsters forcing Professor Webb to translate the writing on the walls. They flee when the young hero attacks, but the professor reveals he's discovered the location of a secret treasure hidden within the great statue, and declares they might as well find it while they're there. They get separated and the gangsters force Professor Webb to lead them to the treasure, but Marvel Jr. quickly returns and takes care of them. The treasure's unearthed, only for it to be revealed that it's silks and spices that have rotted over the 3,000 years since they were hidden, much to the criminals' displeasure.
