He calls out to the person whose clothes he has examined, and the man informs the Spectre that he spotted the arsonist responsible for the deadly blaze. He then heads out to find the culprit who is busy setting more fires. He tracks the people involved down and settles the matter, once and for all.; As Hawkman is flying over the Welsh Mountains in search of adventure, he hears the cry of a young woman who says that she is trying to escape from zombies.

Hawkman decides then and there to put an end to this injustice.

So he gets a Police detective's job and promises to bring in the person responsible in 30 minutes!; Red, Whitey and Blooey are called into G-2 HQ and informed that they have been doing such a good job that they have earned a vacation: in Alaska!

The trio then go on to round up the oriental crooks and save the life of the G-2 man.; It is the year 2240 and war has broken out between two European nations: Toutonia and Balkania.
