Steve and Bucky decide to visit the circus for some fun, but its Cap and Bucky that face the Ringmaster's Wheel of Death and its purpose: to allow the villain to place America into a steel vise of terror, using vicious mobsters as his personal Gestapo!

Captain America and Bucky investigate the disappearance of the patrol boat "Winfield" with its crew and discover a sinister villain, his HQ inside a monstrous sea serpent, responsible.

A scientist successfully creates a link to the dimension Electra only to find the inhabitants bent on conquest. They pour through the portal but are stopped when the carved presidents on Mt. Rushmore come to life and drive them back.

An artist finds an alien pencil that will make whatever he draws real, but his selfish use of it makes the aliens take it back.

When a Nazi Bund beats up a man of German descent (because he won't join up), Captain America and Bucky attack the Bund camp and Cap is captured. Bucky races back to the city and enlists the aid of the Sentinels of Liberty to rescue Cap and round up the rogues.
