Synopsis
  • After stealing a mystical amulet, the Waquo Indians deploy Yaho, a giant golem, with the task of destroying the white man, and the Black Condor confronts them to end their ambitions.
  • Lone Shark returns, under the name "Black Shark." Black and Red encounter the Mermazons of Merezonia, a water-breathing tribe of women whose ruler is Queen Klitra. The King of Caverns, enemy of the Mermazons, steals the Red Torpedo's ship. The Black Shark is in league with the King, whom the Torpedo defeats, with the Mermazons' help.
  • The Spider hunts down mobster Rocco Flint, and takes a few of his henchmen out of circulation, but takes a bullet wound along the way.
  • "The Devil" inflicts a treatment which causes several men to burn internally, with intense heat, to force them to rob for him. Next on his list of men to kidnap is Brian O'Brien. The first attempt at abducting O'Brien, on an open street in broad daylight, almost costs the Devil three men, punched out, but their weird metabolic condition enables them to revive quickly. The second abduction attempt gets one of them shot dead by his own gang, but succeeds in carrying away O'Brien. Pug arrives in time to spot the problem and follow them to their hideout, in which the Devil wastes no time in dosing O'Brien with his fiendish treatment. Pug bursts in, punches down the Devil, frees O'Brien, and hands him one of his silk masks. The Devil regains his feet and summons his three remaining minions into the fight, then flees; the Clock punches out two of them, then pursues. The floor of this dump has weird rectangular pits with fires burning in them; at least two of the Robbers from Hades fall into these. The chase gets onto a rooftop, where the Devil just plain carelessly blunders his way over the side of the building and hurtles to his death on the pavement below. Meanwhile the bad medicine is making the Clock dizzy and feverish, but he just happens to know the antidote for sodium di-nitrophenol poisoning; it's egg whites and milk; Pug fetches some of those, and soon the Clock recovers. The Robbers from Hades have all died, from a combination of long-term poisoning and being punched into a fire.
  • A family of rich businessmen are being murdered by lightning attacks, since they did not want to invest their money for a crazy scientist's "volt machine." Richard Stanton aided a friend, Fielding Garr to recover his kidnapped child. When Stanton arrived at Garr's house, he was struck by a chemical lightning and Garr's son Tom was kidnapped. As Madam Fatal, Stanton rescued young Tom from the crooks' "House of Terror."
Notes
  • * The tribe appearing in this issue's Black Condor story are the "Waquo," incorrectly listed elsewhere as the "Yaqui." * The Clock packs no gun in this issue, but pretends to, and successfully bluffs an attacker into a fatal spot. * The Clock is knocked unconscious with a blunt instrument, in this issue, for the 2nd time in his career. * Also appearing in this issue were: ** Space Legion: , by Vernon Henkel ** Ned Brant: , by Bob Zuppke & B.W. DePew ** Lee Preston of the Red Cross: , by Terrence Macauley & Nick Cardy ** Jane Arden: , by Monte Barrett & Russell E. Ross
