Synopsis for "The Two-Faced Man"

Silas Q. Squinchman has earned the nickname "Old Sour Puss" because his face is formed into a perpetual frown. A plastic surgeon visits him in his office and offers to perform a quick fix that will reverse his expression. Although he's happy that now he's immune to his former degrading nickname, it soon backfires. A potential business partner sees Squinchman's manic grin and refuses to sign, thinking he's being mocked. Next, when Squinchman causes a fire in his office, no-one will believe him because he's grinning like a fool while he yells it. He runs into the surgeon again and pleads to turn his face back to how it was in exchange for all the money in his safe. He does so, but Captain Marvel arrests the doctor because he's an underworld surgeon who gets most of his business pulling bullets out of gangsters.

Notes

  • Billy Batson's Xmas is reprinted in DC Universe Christmas.
  • In The Radio Hoax of Fort Worth, Texas, Joe Scalper's "disintegrating machine" and "receiving set attachment" comprised an actual, working teleportation device, capable of transmitting solid objects to any specially-equipped household radio. Scalper also devised, produced, and (with Captain Marvel's help) delivered at least ten thousand of these receiver attachments, throughout the Fort Worth area, in one day. He used this technology to swindle a large number of candy bars from a department store. There is no indication of whether he invented this equipment, or how he obtained it.
  • Also presented in this issue of Captain Marvel Adventures were:
    • Sam the Sheriff: "Makes An Impression", by Al Liederman
    • Jon Jarl: "Revenge of the Space Hermit" (text story) by Eando Binder
