Synopsis for "War Bond Vengeance"

School is let out two hours early so that the students can attend a special performance by Carson Bells who is participating in a nationwide war bonds collection drive. Roddy Colt notes that the actors appear to be too realistic and is the only one to realize that they were real Nazis. Chasing after them he loses their trail and finds the real actors being brought to the hospital for carbon monoxide poisoning. Attempting to warn town officials of the fake out, they disbelieve him.

Roddy then goes into action as the Secret Stamp and trails the Nazis. The following day, the truth is realized and the movie studio that employs Bell offers a one million dollar reward for his safe return. Meanwhile, the Secret Stamp tracks the Nazis to a mill where they threaten to kill Bell if he doesn't arrange for his studio to pay them fifty thousand dollars to fund their spy operations.

The Secret Stamp comes to Bell's rescue and frees the actor. Dousing the lights, the Stamp gets unexpected help from the actor -- using his ventriloquism abilities, Bell makes it sound as though he is rapidly moving around the room confusing the Nazis in the dark allowing the Secret Stamp to easily defeat them. Rounding up the Nazi spies and driving them into town to be turned over to the authorities, the Secret Stamp tells Bell that his "friend" Roddy Colt should get all the credit.

The following day, Roddy is rewarded with the million dollars which he promptly puts into the war bond charity. Later after the charity is over Bell informs Roddy that the drive easily doubled the money that Roddy had initially donated.
