“Gats” Gaxner is an ex-con from San Loma Prison who just finished a dime in the joint and has learned nothing, immediately thinking of how he'll steal enough to make up for the decade he's lost. One night, Freddy Freeman is closing up shop when Officer Jim Bellows says he's got a special duty at the Rensselaer Research Lab. Freddy, interested, decides to head out with him to take a look at one of the most modern scientific centers in the world. They soon finish up building an atom bomb there to deliver, only for goons to break in, having defeated the guards to steal highly expensive radium and shoot one of the scientists when he hits the alarm. The alarm going off alerts Jim and Freddy that something is up, so Freddy calls CAPTAIN MARVEL to become Captain Marvel, Jr. Most of the goons get beaten by Junior, but the last one escapes with the package… containing an atomic bomb that they also armed to go off automatically at 5:00am! They try announcing on the radio that he has an armed nuclear weapon on him, but instead Gats decides that he can use this to really make money. Meanwhile, Junior meets with Mayor O'Dwyer to find what's going on lately and finds that Gats has sent in a message demanding $10,000,000 or he'll hide the bomb somewhere “no one will find it until it's too late!” What's more, he intends to have the money dropped to him from a plane to his plane, to make things more complex. Junior comes up with a quick plan involving the goons he's already arrested and has Gats' two goons brought in to lean on them, only for one of them to snatch Jim's gun and let the two goons escape. However, they planned for all this so they could follow them to where Gats is hiding out and Junior chases after Gats as he leaves in his plane into a cloud. Soon enough, Gats gets lost in the darkness and the cloud-line, but finds that Captain Marvel, Jr. was there the whole time, now leaning on the cockpit. Gats flings the bomb and gets punched out. The bomb drops… into the ocean, harming no one (except for Gats himself) and the next day, Jim is shocked to find that New York City was nearly destroyed by an atom bomb.
