Don, Red, Shozza and Scrub are flying back to Azure Lake Airport.
Don and Red fail to find Scrub's owner and go to Mike Splendor for a new assignment. Universal Security League advertises for a secretary to trap an agent of Scorpia who can lead Don to their headquarters at Bat's Cavern. Blue Nose instructs Thorn-Apple to get the job as Flo Vicmar, and sends Red Bomber to take Flo's mother hostage. Don gets newsboy Clem to shadow Flo, but he's discovered. Don recovers Clem and captures Flo, but she is afraid for her mother and refuses to help Don. Red likes Mother Vicmar and helps her escape. She is found alive and Flo commits to helping Don.

Many of the strips reprinted include generally sequential codes from about 78-D to about 211-D, but only 108 out of these 134 strips are included. The story of Blue Nose and Thorn-Apple ran from October 1946 to January 1947. This reprint appears to start about a month prior to that story-line. These strips don't seem to have been published in Australian newspapers.

Alley Oop
King Guzzle; Alley Oop; Foozy; Ooola; Queen Umpateedle; Foozys three kids; Zel
The war is over, and the government of prehistoric Moo once more rests in the (capable?) hands of his majestic royal highness, King Guzzle.
Pleased the war with Lem is over, King Guzzle relaxes. Alley Oop searches for Foozy and Ooola shows Queen Umpateedle how to look beautiful like a 20th century woman. Oop meets Foozys three kids and his wife Zel. While Oop and Foozy reminisce, the kids get bored. They beat up a local kid and ride Oop's dinosaur. A mob arrives in response to the kids' claim their father and Oop could 'whip our whole neighborhood'. Panicked by Oop's readiness to take them on, the men fight each other. Ooola arrives and blames the brawl on Oop.
