First Line:
From overseas comes a dreaded plague... a plague in the form of a master criminal known only as the Red Death!
Synopsis:
America's greatest military minds meet together to discuss the landing of the Red Death on the shores of America, and one of them, General Noosan, is killed in front of them all by the Red Death. Spy Smasher follows one of the Red Death's gang to his hideout but is rendered unconscious after learning of the Red Death's plan to use a giant bomber to drop his "red death" on America's major cities. Spy Smasher escapes and fights the Red Death aboard his plane. Spy Smasher escapes from the plane at the last minute, which eventually crashes into the ocean, killing all on board.

Notes:
Spy Smasher is still in his brown uniform. Bill Black has identified the art to be by Charles Sultan, not Ken Battefield.
Writer from Bails' Who's Who. Confirmed by excessive use of passive voice, run on sentences held together by ellipses.
