Synopsis for "Highway Racketeers"

Spy Smasher had jumped overboard before the boat exploded and swims back to shore.

Admiral Corby has Jack ride along on a gold shipment from "a foreign power to pay for military supplies", with his brother secretly riding to meet up with the shipment. The Mask's men intercept the gold shipment by jumping on top of the armored car from an overpass and make the driver pull over by filling the cab with smoke. Jack has a lengthy fight with the two spies that ends with them managing to get away with the armored car. Jack punctures the fuel tank with a bullet and when Spy Smasher gets there a minute later, they follow it to a secret road where the spies are transferring the gold to one of their own vehicles.

Jack and Spy Smasher catch up to their enemies and after a shootout the spies split up, with two of them luring Jack and Spy Smasher away from the ones transporting the gold. In the course of their chase, Spy Smasher borrows one of the spies' own tricks by jumping on top of their car from a hill. The driver aims the car for a broken bridge and jumps out before it goes over.
