Synopsis
Namor substitutes as a speedboat for one of Betty Dean's newspaper friends on a surfboard when suddenly the man's board explodes, killing him. Namor soon realizes that the board has been treated with a chemical which becomes explosive when left in the sun for long periods of time. Namor is on hand when the Sheriff arrests Jed Norris for the murder, but the pleadings of innocence from that man's daughter spurs the Prince to uncover the true crooks, who were running a numbers racket that had been discovered by the newspaperman and for which he was killed.
Notes
The microfiche of this issue, on which an earlier GCD index was apparently based, incorrectly contained a Captain America and Human Torch story from Captain America Comics #40. Dr. Michael J. Vassallo reported to the GCD that the stories were not in the actual issue, though the error continues to make it into print and onto websites online.
The on-sale date is from the publication date recorded in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Part 2, Periodicals, 1945, New Series, Vol. 40, No. 3, p273.
