Whiz Comics #53
The issue features a main story in which Captain Marvel and Billy Batson come into conflict, with Billy warning the Captain to run his own life rather than being manipulated. Golden Arrow has been an interested observer in a scheme involving a character named Bartlett, and the story involves attempts to catch the criminal and recover stolen goods while pursuing suspects on horseback across desert terrain. A subplot featuring spies operating a secret radio broadcast station involves villainous characters planning to use flowers as a cover for espionage, with Captain Marvel and a female companion discovering their plot and thwarting their attempt to interfere with a broadcast and transmission. The issue concludes with a time-travel segment involving Ibis the Invincible, who uses magical means to transport characters through different time periods from 1893 to 1943, ultimately resolving a mystery about stolen money that was replaced by new currency.
