Synopsis | - A volcano and some jungle animals suddenly appear in Cliffland, then just as suddenly disappear. The Spectre investigates and learns that Morton Kirk has invented a machine which folds space and has allowed objects in Africa to be transported around the globe. Kirk’s assistant Nat Rhodes uses the new invention to blackmail the city of Cliffland. The Spectre is transported by the machine into another dimension and is unable to stop Rhodes, but Kirk intervenes and transports himself and his former assistant to the bottom of the ocean.
- Dr. Fate stops an art museum robbery, but the mastermind of the gang, Mr. Who, escapes with a valuable painting. Fate trails the gang back to Mr. Who’s lab, but he is unable to subdue Who because the criminal has taken Solution Z, which empowers him with super-human powers.
Fate is left to the mercy of a giant spider while Who attempts to steal a famous diamond. After freeing himself from the spider, Dr. Fate prevents the robbery and apparently throws Mr. Who to his doom at the bottom of the ocean.
- Green Arrow and Speedy investigate the murders of several members of a history club, whose names are similar to famous historical figures. Their investigation leads them to Ezra Samson, the club treasurer who has embezzled money. They save the lives of two other club members and capture Samson.
- A man in black armor calling himself the Black Knight appears in the city and begins smashing the statues of various art collectors. Johnny Quick tries to stop the Knight, but finds the man possesses amazing strength. Johnny does notice that the Knight is affected by an electrical storm and correctly guesses that the Knight is a robot. Johnny destroys the robot, then uncovers its controller, Sam Kirby, an art dealer who sold counterfeit statues, and wanted to destroy the evidence.
- Aquaman helps a group of refugees escape an attack by a U-Boat. He explains to the captain that he is the son of an undersea explorer, who taught him the secrets of Atlantis, which enable Aquaman to live underwater.
After seeing to the refugees safety, Aquaman assaults the U-Boat and its commanders. Then he destroys their island base.
