Synopsis for Sandra of the Secret Service: "Sandra's Vacation, Part 2"

Aboard the steamship from New York to Florida, Baroness von Schmidt's expensive necklace has been stolen. The captain complies with her angry demands for everybody present to be searched. This proves fruitless. Meanwhile the rude drunk man from dinner is also still around, only much more sober.

Sandra and Michael do some snooping around and find the Baron in his stateroom, being threatened by the fake drunk guy and one accomplice, in a dispute about some stolen jewelry that turns out to be fake. Michael slips and falls; the bad guys rush out and catch him, while both Sandra and the Baron quietly leave the scene. The bad guys abduct Michael, but Sandra figures his danger is less immediate, and follows the Baron.

After his secret conversation with the Queen of France, the Duke of Buckingham departs the palace, carrying a gold casket containing twelve diamond studs. Meanwhile M. Bonacieux has been arrested and marched into the Bastille. He is interrogated by a Commissar who informs him that he is accused of high treason. After passing a sleepless night, Bonacieux is interviewed again, and is very anxious to cooperate. He implicates his wife and his tenant, D'Artagnan. The Commissar is delighted to hear this, as he has earlier received D'Artagnan as a prisoner, but when the prisoner is brought in, he is Athos! This makes Bonacieux's story less believable than before, and the Commissar has him locked up again, as is Athos. That evening, a carriage and a mounted squad of guards convey Bonacieux out of the prison, to Croix Du Travois, the execution grounds!

Synopsis for Wing Brady: "Omar Khan"

Out on the desert, far from any reinforcements, Wing Brady and his two pals spot a large body of horsemen, moving rapidly in their direction. They take cover, and with the sun's glare right behind them, aren't visible from the galloping troop of well-armed Arabs. Once they are gone, the trip continues without incident to the town of El Coro. There Wing Brady haggles with wily old Akmeh Bey, and procures fifteen racing camels, to be delivered at the city gate that same day. Walking away from that meeting, Wing is crashed into by a sprinting young woman; they topple into the street. Wing is surprised to find that she's white and sounds American. Right then, burly, bullying Omar Khan shows up, with a whip, claims that the girl is his wife, and demands her return. She disputes his claim and tells Brady she was kidnapped. Hap and Frenchy quietly line up alongside Wing, who warns Omar to put up his whip, and has some questions for the girl. But the first one almost gets her killed, when he asks for the name of her kidnapper, Khan points a gun at her and vows that she'll not say that name!
