"Sandra of the Secret Service: "Sandra's Vacation, Part 3"": Aboard the passenger liner bound for Florida, Sandra shadows Baron Von Schmidt, who is talking to himself out loud. He's guilt

More Fun Comics #30 is an issue of the series More Fun Comics (Volume 1) with a cover date of March, 1938.

Synopsis for Sandra of the Secret Service: "Sandra's Vacation, Part 3"

Aboard the passenger liner bound for Florida, Sandra shadows Baron Von Schmidt, who is talking to himself out loud. He's guilty all right. Meanwhile at another stateroom, the Baron's two erstwhile partners have finished tying up Michael, and now set out to pay a visit to their backstabbing buddy. Sandra, unobserved, sees them arrive, and watches as they brandish handguns at the Baron, awaken and gag Mrs. Von Schmidt, and generally gloat about how well this is going. The Baron douses the lights, drops to the floor, draws a gun, and shoots one of these punks, who screams.

Outside, Sandra is frustrated; she's packing a gun but can't shoot into the darkened stateroom. Some of the ship's officers arrive and she tells them it's a mob fight. They charge into the stateroom, but by now the Baron is gone, both crooks are dead, and Mrs. Von Schmidt is just now peeling the tape from her mouth, to inform them that the Baron has escaped, with the loot.

Synopsis for Dr. Occult: "The Spirit Medium"

Ellsworth convinces Occult to accompany him to a seance, so that Occult can judge whether the medium, Madame Zora, is a fake or a genuine psychic. Madame Zora soon proves to be legitimate -- too legitimate, as she is possessed by an evil spirit. The other seance attendees flee, leaving only Occult and Ellsworth with the possessed Madame Zora. She corners Ellsworth with a spear, but Occult uses his powers to overcome the possessed woman. With Madame Zora unconscious, the evil spirit flees.

Synopsis for Three Musketeers: "Episode 19"

Arriving at dusk at the execution grounds of Croix du Trahoir, M. Bonacieux is yanked from the carriage and frog-marched past some hanging corpses on a scaffold. The guards drag him up a stairway and into an antechamber, then park him on a bench. Another officer conveys him into a well-appointed study, where at a table sits the widely dreaded Cardinal Richelieu. His eminence examines the arrest report and has some sharp questions for Bonacieux, who whimpers about his innocence and implicates his wife and his tenant, Constance and D'Artagnan. Richelieu sends for the Comte de Rochefort, who arrives with good news. Bonacieux is sent away and returned to his cell, then Richelieu confirms with Rochefort that the Queen has, indeed, met with the Duke of Buckingham, and that she has gifted him with a particular set of diamond studs. Richelieu is very pleased.

Synopsis for Wing Brady: "Wrath of Omar Khan"

Omar Khan shoots at the girl, but he is shaking with rage, and misses. He gets no time for a second shot, either, as Wing Brady pounces in and pounds him down. Khan tries again, with a knife this time, but Hap Hamilton grabs his arm and twists it up. Omar Khan yells for reinforcements, and a whole lot of them arrive, brandishing big knives! So out come the Legionnaires' side-arms, but it's a bad place to start shooting, so Lt. Brady has his guys hold their fire, and orders Omar Khan into a good hostage-position in front of them. The girl leads them, as they walk backward across the large courtyard, toward a gate in one wall. The gate is unbarred, and they all go thru it, Brady last, with his hostage. He releases Omar Khan, steps thru the gate, and bolts it. They're out in an alley, so picking a door at random, Wing steps into somebody's house. It's awkward, because a dead elderly well-dressed white man is lying on the floor in the middle of the room, with a big knife sticking out of his chest. When the girl sees this, she faints.

Inside an enormous house in a crowded city in China, Jeff Roberts and Captain Dennis, using firecrackes, have stampeded a squad of blade-wielding guards out of a large room. Once they are gone, the two race away in the other direction, down a corridor to the room where they know Jean is held. There is an oak door, but Captain Dennis busts it open with his shoulder. The three of them run away down a hall and across an open court. They are spotted and pursued by five sword-wielding guards. They escape out a back door which Dennis slams, and braces himself to hold in place.
