Synopsis
The Courier issues a challenge to the JSA re an individual called the Psycho-Pirate, who has been committing crimes based on emotions, whom the paper has spoken out against. The JSA visits Editor Morgan to inform him that they will help. Morgan shows a letter of challenge to them from the Psycho-Pirate just as Morgan's Secretary brings in telegrams addressed to the JSA members individually, challenging them to stop his crimes of emotions. Morgan is relived as the only person before that to give encouragement and support in the fight was one of his his linotypers, Charley Halstead.

Scripter Gardner Fox reports writing this issue before the story found in All-Star #22, but didn't know why it was published after. Wonder Woman is named in the roll call, but appears nowhere in the story. The Psycho-Pirate will next appear in All-Star #32, although he also appears in an unpublished but illustrated JSA story, "The Will of William Wilson," written by Fox in September, 1945.
