Synopsis

  The Monster from the Morgue   A jealous scientist named Dr. Weirdler learns one of his colleagues has developed a serum that will reanimate dead bodies and is planning on testing it on a recently deceased gorilla. Dr. Weirdler takes the brain of an executed criminal named Killer Kole and places it in the gorilla's body. The experiment doesn't seem to work and the medical students bury the gorilla's body where the grave is struck by lightning and Killer Kole is revived. His goes to the zoo and breaks out a pair of gorillas for his mob and then sets out on a path of vengeance against the three judges who sent him to the chair. Dr. Weirdler informs Cap about the beast terrorizing the city and then takes a knife thrown at Cap to atone for his crime. Cap socks Killer Kole off a highrise and he falls to his doom.   Sub-Earthmen's Revenge!   Cap and Bucky must battle the Spook and his Sub-Earth army, who seek to stop the American Army from conducting operations against the enemy.   Machine of Doom!   Believing that men are good, but that their will to self destruction (perpetrated by the Devil) over-rides the good they can do and only places the world in danger, Professor Mott decides to destroy the world!
