This issue collects nine stories of varying lengths. The featured complete novel, "Where the Big Money Is" by Elmer Davis, concerns Myron O'Mara, a Wall Street operator and Miami real-estate promoter during the 1925 Florida boom, and the narrator Victor Bentley, whose life is transformed by a chance poker game with O'Mara at a small-town railroad station in 1907. The serial "Tin Hats" (part III) by Fred Macisaac addresses military themes involving masses of soldiers. Shorter stories include Frederick Niven's "I'm Going Now," Captain Ralph R. Guthrie's "The Colt," Aimée D. Linton's "No Good," Captain A. P. Corcoran's "One Good Turn, Et Cetera" (featuring a boxing champion), John Miller Gregory's "Son of His Father" (racing story), Charles R. Barnes' "Mr. Sweeny: Treasure Hunter," and Robert McBlair's "Natural Methods." The magazine also advertises sea paintings available for framing and promotes an adventure novel, "Roots of Treasure" by W. E. Schutt.
