Synopsis for "Red Logan, Ace Reporter"
On the waterfront, a cop notices some suspicious men who look like smugglers. He tries to stop them, but the crooks murder him. The Crimson Avenger arrives on the scene moments later. He discovers the body and finds a crate that the smugglers dropped in the water. Inside is an illegal Chinese immigrant. Before the Crimson Avenger can leave the area, the police see him and suspect him of murdering the cop.
Later, the Crimson Avenger asks Wing to check with his family in Chinatown to get a lead on the smugglers. He locates their hide-out, then the Crimson Avenger drops in. The Crimson and Wing are caught at first by the smugglers, but they escape. The crooks are then defeated and left for the police. Later, the Crimson Avenger is cleared of the murder charges.
