Synopsis: Ross Palmer, sponsor of the annual boat race to Viking’s Cove, tells reporter Betty Dean that this year's prize money is $1,000,000. Later, Betty gets a frantic phone call from Alphonso Green, a yachtsman. She sends Namor and Namora to help Green but the Viking gets to him first, silencing him before slipping away.

Title: One Too Many

Characters: Jimmy Mullins

Synopsis: Jimmy needs $1000 to pay the finance company, or he'll lose his home. When he sees a movie studio's advertisement for a stuntman, he applies and gets the job. The pay is more than enough to save his home, and all he has to do is parachute from a plane. There's only one problem — he's terrified of heights.

Synopsis: A tremendous explosion sinks a freighter in New York Harbor, attracting the notice of Namor and Namora. Namor speaks with Peter Oliver, the owner of the ship, while Namora eavesdrops on conversations in the vicinity of the wreck. They compare notes at Betty Dean's apartment and soon find themselves in conflict with “Tinfish,” an American Nazi who escaped Germany with his “Little Fish” – one-man submarine/torpedos – and a plan to destroy his brother’s business, kill him and collect the insurance money – a plan foiled by the Sub-Mariners.
