Fightin' Marines #5
In "Leatherneck Jack," the titular Marine pursues a spy named Kuramoto who has stolen secret documents. After a chase and fight in which Jack is wounded, he corners the spy and recovers the documents, then reports to his commanding officer. The story concludes with Jack being commended for his courage and recommended for a furlough. In a second story involving Marines held captive in a stockade near the Manchurian border, two prisoners plan an escape by exploiting a hidden machine gun position, intending to create a distraction that will allow them to slip through a hole in the fence while a guard is distracted.
