Synopsis for Capt. Marvel, Jr.: "Capt. Marvel, Jr. Meets the Sky Hawk"
Aboard the Maria Elena, a cargo ship is being attacked by big waves and a giant hawk that is secretly a cleverly-disguised airplane created by the villainous beak-nosed Sky Hawk, who wears a green sweater with a silhouette of a hawk. Meanwhile, Freddy Freeman is visiting a rich friend, Mr. Klast, who is opening an aerial night club that he’s put all his money into and sure hopes nothing spoils the opening! A marquis news sign across the street tells Freddy that the Maria Elena’s lifeboats have been found adrift at certain coordinates and calls CAPTAIN MARVEL to become Captain Marvel, Jr. and flies there to find them hundreds of miles out to sea and ropes the lifeboats together to fly them off together and offers that the Captain not say they were attacked by a giant hawk that scared them all away, but the man refuses to lie, even if it means saving his job or sounding like he’s crazy. Junior wonders how he can fix it. The next day, the Daily Gazette runs a headline on Paul Klast’s new Sky Night Club, which is attached to two giant floating balloons and transportation there involves taking a poorly-designed yellow helicopter. It is soon attacked by the Sky Hawk in his giant Sky Hawk, which happens to clip Freddy on its way in, knocking him out. They proceed to hold up everyone and start stealing art and valuables. To stop him, the Sky Hawk releases his trained hawk, Clarence, to try pecking directly in Junior’s eyes, which though irritating, does enough to let him get away. Junior soon recovers from having a bird of prey launch into his eyes and follows the creature back to an island where the Sky Hawk has parked his giant metal bird. He soon whips one goon in a chair (with him in it) into another goon while the Sky Hawk leaves, now furious that Clarence has implicated him. Clarence keeps trying to appeal to him, only to end up running into one of the Sky Hawk’s Sky Hawk’s propellers, blowing it out and forcing him to parachute into Junior’s arms. Later, the Captain from the Maria Elena is forgiven and gets his job back and the Sky Hawk is arrested. The next day, Mr. Klast says it went great, since no one was hurt and it got them tons of publicity!

Synopsis for Bulletman the Flying Detective: "Bulletman the Flying Detective and The Rain of Terror"
Jim Barr notes that Lt. Kent’s brother, Ken, is going to have a dam constructed near his farm, which will hopefully end the drought that’s plagued his less-than-irrigated land. He has Jim and Susan send him a package by air mail, but they decide to deliver it personally as a nice time out and change into the Bullets to do so. The other farmers are thankful to hear Ken Kent is going to have what will become the best land in the new valley, only for mean man Phineas Skinflint. Skinflint tries to offer him a price for his farm, but Ken realizes that he only cares about it now that there’s a profit to be found. Skinflint threatens he’ll be sorry for doing this and leaves to activate his Rain Machine that lets him control the weather, shoving the large circular lever to set it to flood. The Ballistic Duo arrive to find the town is flooding and hand over Ken’s gift before they start fighting the incoming flood. They find that it’s not raining outside the dam and that lightning is striking all in the same place, meaning this must be an artificial stormcloud. They set Ken and his house on higher ground and soon find the bolts from the Rain Machine coming from Skinflint’s house. They punch him out quickly and he admits to it all so they won’t drop him out of the sky, which they accept. Later, Lt. Kent says that Ken wrote and heard that he’s now got control of Phineas’ perfectly working farm to make up for his ruined one and wonders aloud if the Bullets were involved...

Trivia
- Despite the cover, Captain Marvel, Jr. doesn't ride a large human-sized hawk. Instead, he defeats a avian-looking man who has a giant airplane that is somehow perfectly designed to look like a giant roc.
