Synopsis for The Human Bomb: "The Sea Serpent"
Hustace laughs in disbelief when he reads a news story about a giant sea serpent, but Roy decides they should investigate. When they get to the beach a giant sea serpent does indeed show, spewing fire and cannon balls. Hustace tries to attack it and gets swallowed, whereupon he's taken back to the lair of the crooks controlling the mechanized monstrosity. They plan to scare away the beachgoers and buy up the land for cheap. Having divined the beast's true nature, Bomb trailed the radio signals controlling it back to the crooks' hideout, and destroys their control apparatus before capturing them.

Synopsis for The Spirit: "Three Wishes"
Ebony White gets thrown over for a rival in love, and hands off the flower meant for her to a depressed man sitting in the gutter. He offers Ebony three wishes in exchange, just before two men in white uniforms come to collect him to bring him back to his friends Napoleon and George Washington. A still-enraged Ebony remarks if he did have three wishes, he'd wish for his rival to show up so Ebony could bust him in the face, only for the man to come running out of the club where he works bussing tables, screaming about Lefty Perone being murdered. When Ebony investigates, he finds himself being confronted by the killer, and wishing the Spirit would show up to save him. The masked hero does indeed leap through the window just in time, making Ebony think his second wish came true. After capturing the killer and his underlings, the Spirit laughs off Ebony's claims about a man in the gutter giving him three wishes. A stair breaks under Ebony and in his pain at twisting an ankle, he exclaims "Ah wish somebody'd fix dat ol' step!" When the Spirit looks back after sitting Ebony down, the stair has mysteriously become whole again.
