- The Adventure of the Invisible Band! [Part I] · 10 pages
An incredible robbery of $50,000 from an oil company spurs the JSA to the conclusion that the Invisible Band is responsible. However, the charwoman who cleans the apartment the JSA meets in, discovers a sketch (by Dr. Mid-Nite) that looks like a puzzle, so she gives it to her nephew, Elmer, who fancies himself an amateur detective. He reaches the same conclusion as the JSA, so disguises himself to investigate the apartment, believing it to be the HQ of the criminals. When the JSA returns, he believes them to be the crooks dressing as the JSA and leaves to report this to his detective school.

Meanwhile, at Gracy's Department Store, the Band has its eyes on the $1 million in receipts the store has taken in, but Dr. Mid-Nite and Wonder Woman put the squash on that until Elmer shows up and allows the real villains to escape. At an exclusive florist shop, GL is able to stop the Band from seizing the receipts from Sweetheart's Day until Elmer steps in and the crooks escape.
