Synopsis for "The Human Torch"

Johnny Storm and his sister Sue have taken up residence in Glenville, New York, where nobody is aware that they are members of the Fantastic Four. The town has recently began construction of a new amusement park which has been the target of sabotage, by somebody who has also been sending threatening letters to the local newspaper, calling himself the Destroyer.

Johnny, as the Human Torch decides to get to the bottom of things and find out why this is happening. He foils a number of acts of sabotage and saves people from getting hurt. His efforts net him a challenge being issued by the Destroyer through the newspaper. When the Thing arrives to give the Torch some help thinking that Johnny is in over his head, the Torch refuses.

Going to the meeting place, a cabin in the woods, the Torch has his flame doused with a bucket of water and is easily duped by the Destroyer who manages to escape. Johnny later decides to see why the Destroyer is targeting the amusement park. Upon closer inspection he finds that there is a Soviet submarine off the coast. With the help of the US military they capture the spies, and the Torch learns the hide out of the Torch.

The Torch easily defeats the Destroyer this time, and reveals him to the Charles Stanton, editor of the newspaper company which published the Destroyer's letters. He was working for a newspaper to learn what he could about the goings on in America to report back to his superiors, and he targeted the amusement park because it's construction near the waterway would have made the Soviet sub visible to others.

Synopsis for "What Is X-35?"

A criminal attempts to avoid the police by getting a ticket on a tramp steamer out of port. When he looks at the ticket the seller gives him it reads X-35. He angrily heads back to the ticket seller who apologizes and hands him the ticket which he verifies standing there. When he is back in his hideout, he glances at the ticket again and sees it says X-35. He thinks the ticket seller is having some sort of gag on him, so he goes down to have it out with him and pulls his gun. The ticket seller is frightened and runs out of the building and across the street pursued by the criminal who is struck and killed by a car with the license plate...X-35.
