| Synopsis | - The Jester pursues a killer who's stolen $100,000 from the downtown bank.
- To help out during a case involving feuds between rival clans in Chinatown, The Ray gives Bud a "ray ring" that emits a beam to blind people. In Chinatown, a merchant is harassed because he carries important contracts from a weapons supplier. Mobsters attack the man, and realizing his sidekick, bud, has also been kidnapped, the Ray quickly deduces a connection and goes after the racketeers.
- Midnight faces a foe who administers pills to people that regresses them to infancy, and he is even tricked to ingesting the drug as well. Gabby takes a chance with the antidote, which might kill the subject, but Dave is restored. Then, instead of turning the doctor in, Midnight gives Wackey a chance to reform, working with him and Gabby to better promote his genius.
* Dr. Wackey's first name was not revealed until Smash #32. He becomes Midnight's partner by the end of this story.
* A diagram of Midnight's Vacuum Gun is shown in this story.
- The Invisible Hood battles the Crystal Queen and her aide, Caglio, who are after the deadly Blue Crystal. Caglio and the Crystal Queen squabble over the mystical blue gem, until the magician kills the Queen, and later succumbs to an explosion.
