Caught in the Tune of Death!
===Chapter 1 Caught in the Tune of Death!=== The Black Dirge disguised as an organ grinder outside of an army facility in Washington, D.C. has his monkey steal important war plans before fleeing with them and disposing of the monkey. This alert of the missing war plans finds the ears of the Young Allies when Captain America comes to their clubhouse and tells them. They are eager to get to the case of finding the murderer but have previous plans of visiting a concert performed by Prof. De Banac.
While at the concert they soon learn that the man playing to violin on stage is not the Professor when they go backstage and discover the real professor with a knife in his back. The professor informs them that the Black Dirge has his passport and tickets before dying from his wounds. When the Black Dirge is confronted on stage he kills a stage manager and sends his henchmen to attack the Young Allies. The groups fight while the Dirge makes his escape.
