Synopsis for Sandra of the Secret Service: "The Brain, Part 5"
Sandra's message is picked up by an American military vessel, and the captain changes course for the islands comprising the Brain's secret base. He also sends a message to Washington, advising that the preparations for war should be stopped.
Meanwhile on one island, in the radio shack, Sandra and Michael are surrounded by gunmen. They get captured, alive, and thrown back into the dungeon. In their cell is a dead man, and near the body is a note, which describes the dead man's escape plan. A lot of this work has been done already; by removing a few loose stones from the wall, Michael uncovers a tunnel. They crawl all the way thru it and emerge at a sheltered cove on the island's shore, at night. The dead man had hidden a boat here, and the two escapees row it out to sea. Soon a storm comes up.
While this goes on, the Brain and three assistants are planning to evacuate the base, carrying away as much of the inventory of munitions as can be packed into the submarines.

Synopsis for Dr. Occult: "The Henri Duval Murders"
Three men are dead, each a judge in a recent art exhibit, each with the letters H D on his forehead, and each in the sort of impossible circumstances that makes the police call Doctor Occult into the case. While the police are questioning the last surviving judge, he suddenly dies--his throat torn open by a wolf neither Occult nor Captain Gould could see.
Occult sets himself as bait to trap the murderer, but when he is attacked later that night, the intruder only takes his photograph. Without any other leads, Occult examines the list of artists at the exhibit, and his attention is drawn to one Henri Duval.
Occult travels to Duval's studio, but Duval surprises him. He ties Occult up and shows him four paintings--each of one of the judges being murdered in the way they died. He begins to paint a portrait of Occult being burned alive, but at the last moment, the police burst in. Quickly, Duval draws a dagger on a portrait of himself and dies.
