| Synopsis
| - Groton City is plagued by a series of lethal subway crashes attracting the attention of Hurrican who suspects that his nemesis Pluto is behind the disasters using some secret devilish device. Sure enough going to the scene of the most recent crash scene he overhears investigators as they recover a mysterious black box from the rubble of the wreck.
Spotting a crook fleeing the scene, Hurrican changes out of his civilian guise and follows after him. He trails the crook back to the hideout of Scarface Rispoli and learns that they are using specially constructed "death-boxes" to cause the wrecks so that they can rob all the people who are killed in the subway crashes. Although he is spotted, Hurrican easily rounds up all the crooks and learns from Scarface that the man who put them up to this scheme is staying in the penthouse at the Rexal Hotel.
After dumping off Scarface and his goons at the police station, Hurrican would rush off and confirm his suspicions: that the man who put Scarface up to the job was none other than Pluto himself. Before he can capture his old foe, Pluto knocks out Hurrican with some gas and rushes off to plant another black box of death along the subway. Hurrican revives and stops Pluto before he can put his plan into action, beating him into submission and throwing him off into the sky. Hurrican then decides that although his foe Pluto is defeated for the time behind, there is still much that he can do on Earth.

Pulling themselves from the rubble they run into famous actor Craig Talbot who tells them that the Hunchback escaped in the directio of Goris Barloff's dressing room. Because Barloff, a popular horror movie actor, was made popular for playing the role of a hunch back he becomes the lead suspect even though he angrily denies anything to do with the murders on set. When the authorities attempt to arrest Barloff, his direct helps facilitate his escape.
Investigating things further as Captain America and Bucky, the two heroes catch the Hunchback attempting to strangle actress Marie Deterle. Saving her life, they chase the Hunchback to the prop castle that has been constructed on the set. Searching for him there, Captain America runs into Talbot who he correctly deduces is really the killer. Captain America easily defeats Talbot in a duel and turns him over to the authorities. To everyone's surprise they learn that Talbot was a member of a pro Nazi bund and was seeking to stop production on the film.
- Having survived his previous encounter with Captain America and Bucky, the Red Skull vows to get revenge on the two heroes and continue his reign of terror against the United States of America for the Nazi cause. To this end he targets Major Douglas who is guarding plans for a new power drill device that the military plans to develop. He murders Douglas and steals the plan. His actions alert the attention of Steve Rogers and Bucky who had just finished dropping off the plans and they arrive to find the Red Skull's calling card: a box containing a miniature red skull. Changing into Captain America and Bucky, the duo chase after the Skull but lose him when they are attacked by his goons.
The Red Skull soon develops a working model of the drill and uses it to terrorize New York City. Captain America and Bucky clash with the Red Skull at Wrigley Stadium, however the villain retreats when the authorities arrive on the scene. Meanwhile, a bunch of shady businessmen attempt to make some extra money by having two thugs dress up as Captain America and Bucky and charge people 10 cents to see them. When the real Steve Rogers and Bucky come across the two, they rough them up for being phonies. Later in their dressing room, the two posers are confronted by the Red Skull who presumes them to be the real Captain America and Bucky and takes them captive and has them hanged.
Meanwhile, the real Captain America and Bucky are out on patrol looking for the Red Skull. Realizing that the Skull must be using the subway as a hideout, the two track them down and clash with the Red Skull there. When the Red Skull attempts to escape in the drill he tosses a bomb at the two heroes. Cap picks up the bomb and throws it back at the Skull and he is killed in an explosion and the drill is destroyed.

He runs into Lenny, Dr. Vitrioli's strong assistant and is knocked out and taken prisoner. When Bucky doesn't return to Camp Lehigh, Steve decides to investigate but gets no help. He decides to hide out in the museum until after it closes and explore as Captain America. That night Captain America clashes with both Lenny and the Butterfly in the museum.
