The Horror Of The Seas * 1ST APPEARANCE "HOODED HORROR"
At Camp Lehigh, following a football game, Gen. Haywood assigns Steve to accompany Betty Ross to Valley Port to investigate multiple bus accidents. From Littleton, Betty takes a bus to Valley Port, and Steve, as Cap, follows. At a diner, the counterman drugs the driver's coffee. Soon after, the bus crashes. Cap pulls Betty and the dead driver from the wreck. Reaching Valley Port, Betty checks into a hotel, but the manager alerts the Hooded Horror, who sends his followers and Sea Monsters to capture her. Bucky, who has followed Cap, tries to rescue Betty but is captured, and both are taken to an underground city. Cap finds the captive Laison King, freeing and accompanying him to prevent the Laisons from sacrificing Bucky and Betty. When the King reveals the Nazis' deception, the High Priest declares all humans must die. Although Cap and company escape, the Laisons and Monsters massacre Hooded Horror's Nazis. The King directs Cap to dynamite the underwater city, but when Cap departs, reveals that the blast will kill Cap as he abducts Betty for his Queen. Bucky defeats the King, alerts Cap, and they escape as the city is destroyed.
