Synopsis for "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 "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 3000 years since they were hidden, much to the criminals' displeasure.
