Synopsis for Bulletman the Flying Detective: "Bulletman the Flying Detective and the Hot Dog Case"

Two goons, Joe and Willie, buy some hot dogs from the corner deli and go back to their hotel. Joe tells him to watch the sausages until he comes back, but when he comes back and finds that he threw them out (he prefers turkey.) They figure out that local neighborhood dogs have eaten it, since it’s near a dog park open 1-3pm. The next morning, Lt. Kent tells Jim Barr that three people on Park Row have found their dogs missing and not at the pound either. He implies he’d enjoy help from Bulletman. The Bullets soon change in and they decide to not take Slug as Bulletdog for his own safety. However, once they leave, he puts on his Gravity Collar and follows them. They fly over a cemetery to get to Park Row and find three dead dogs, likely the missing ones. They land near Park Row and find Joe and Willie kidnapping more dogs. Bulletdog attacks them, but they knock him out with a blackjack. Joe discusses cutting open more dogs to find whatever was in those sausages, but Willie still has no idea why they’re doing this. The goons finish off a fifth neighborhood dog before they start on Bulletdog. The Bullets fire in and punch them both out and the knife flies off to knock open their truck, releasing more dogs on them that distract the Bullets. The goons escape and the Bullet Trio fly off again to the hotel where Joe and Willie are hiding out. However, he seems to stop over at the window ledge to eat some sausages! The Bullets try to wrestle them from him and find that the sausage has diamonds in it! They quickly figure out that they somehow were smuggling diamonds in a sausage and cutting open dogs to try to find them. Willie finally learns the same thing from Joe as Joe openly discusses never working with him again. The Bullet Trio fire in and punch out the goons. Later, Lt. Kent thanks the Bullets for doing a quick job, but Susan reminds him to also remember Bulletdog!

Synopsis for Capt. Marvel, Jr.: "Capt. Marvel, Jr. Goes on Vacation"

Freddy Freeman is on a train to Little Acres for a vacation, staying with a friend Farmer Jones for a week. Meanwhile, in Little Acres, a small boy nicknamed “Tuffy” claims he’s late at home due to a “Never-Lie Club” meeting, in which he’s running for President. He races off to go to the secret hideout beneath Farmer Jones’ field, but trips and knocks himself out on the tracks. Meanwhile, Freddy arrives in time to see that there’s a kid on the tracks and calls CAPTAIN MARVEL to become Captain Marvel, Jr. and drags Tuffy loose. He soon climbs into the secret hideout and says he both nearly was killed by a railroad train and met Captain Marvel, Jr., but nobody believes him in the Never-Lie Club. He leaves angrily and goes to the station to see Captain Marvel, Jr., but nobody thinks that he’s in town because no one knows it but him. Meanwhile, Freddy is at Farmer Jones’ Farm where he finds the kids’ secret hideout because they have a fire lit and warns that it could light the town on fire. Captain Marvel Junior flies out, but finds it’s Tuffy who starts a small brush-fire. He explains that he was signaling for help and leads Junior to the secret hideout. Meanwhile, Farmer Jones decides to fill in the hole where the secret hideout is, not knowing the kids are still inside of it and they start to suffocate slowly. Junior and Tuffy arrive and Junior drills straight down into it and they’re shocked to find Tuffy was telling the truth and elect him as President of the Never-Lie Club. Junior flies back to Farmer Jones’ Farm to go enjoy the rest of his vacation as Freddy Freeman.
