Four different stories featuring clean-cut teen heroes of the 1940s from Novelty Press. On a picnic, Dick Cole and his pal overhear cattle rustlers plotting against a nearby ranch. Li'l Abner-like Danl Flannel becomes a strongman in a traveling medicine show, unaware it's partnered with outlaws. Edison Bell overhears what he thinks is a plot for his own kidnapping. Also, "Edison Bell's Gift to Plane Spotters" tells young readers how to create silhouettes of enemy aircraft to identify them during potential air raids - a snapshot of its era. Similarly, the cover features caricatures of Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini being used as target practice, a representative patriotic cover for the era.
