Synopsis:
After his gang is broken up by Johnny Thunder, Joe Banto escapes and takes refuge with the Killer Case Gang. Banto suspects that Johnny has a secret identity, so one of the gang follows him in town. After Johnny receives a head wound while rounding up another gang, he visits the doctor.

After getting patched up, Johnny goes to the home of bank teller Andy Hollis. The crooks observe Hollis with a similar head wound and believe that he is Johnny Thunder's secret identity. The gang attacks Hollis and his sister, but the real Johnny Thunder surprises and captures them.
