The stories

Superhero Pioneer saves a child who is nearly run over by members of gangster Braggy's mob, but the crooks escape. Braggy decides to move his racket into defense work. 2 years pass, and Pioneer discovers Braggy's gang is involved in large-scale government and business corruption. He poses as a would-be defense worker and refuses to pay off the crooks to get a job. They abduct him to make him an example of others, and when Pioneer has identified the "big shots" behind the scheme, he defeats them.

At the behest of an insurance company, Morgan goes undercover at the Laird health resort to investigate the mysterious deaths of women who stayed there. Jane's sister Diana married Baron Ivan and has now fallen ill. Michael discovers that Laird poisons new brides so their husband can collect the insurance. He breaks up the racket.

Dick Royce flies to Africa to arrange for an airstrip in the jungle. He discovers New York gangsters are trying to force a missionary to reveal the location of the elephants' graveyard so they can steal the ivory. The local witch doctor conspires with the crooks to eliminate King Mula in exchange for the ivory, but Dick foils their plans.

A wacky young inventor accidentally helps catch a bank robber.
