This Spanish-language pulp magazine issue contains the spy thriller "Brigitte en acción" (Brigitte in Action) by Lou Carrigan. The story opens with CIA agent Charles Alan Pitzer arriving at Brigitte Montfort's New York apartment with grim news: a fellow CIA agent, William Shivers, has been found dead in Acapulco under bizarre circumstances. The corpse was completely drained of blood, bearing only three puncture wounds—one in the back and two at the jugular veins. The body appeared desiccated, almost wooden. A Chinese agent named Wu Lin, whom Shivers was monitoring, has disappeared after wounding another CIA operative. Pitzer arranges Brigitte's immediate departure to Mexico City. The narrative includes banter between Brigitte, her colleague Frank Minello, and Pitzer, establishing character dynamics before transitioning to Brigitte's arrival in Mexico and briefing with local CIA operatives about the mysterious death and the search for Wu Lin.
