In D&D-like fashion, the Vampire's underground hideout consists of crude tunnels with wooden doors built into them. It is illuminated by candles.
Mr. E is trapped by being tied to a chair. He must have used up all his stunts already today because he can't escape his bonds without wrecking the chair.
And last in this issue is The Laughing Mask, another mysteryman-led feature. Crooked politicians lead to the creation of this assistant district attorney-turned-vigilante. Interesting, Dennis Burton does most of his investigating as himself, even putting himself in danger without the mask by hopping onto the back of a car and riding along (which must have been easier to do on 1930s models) in his street clothes.
Dennis follows two saboteurs to a hideout, where a master criminal is discussing his master plan to a room full of five thugs, on the ground floor, with an open window -- practically begging to be overheard! The dressing in the room in the hideout includes a table, chairs, ashtrays, a big radio with a statuette on top of it, a floor lamp, and a lamp stand.
Dennis is quickly captured, but isn't searched before being tied up. He uses his skills (maybe a stunt?) to free himself from the rope (more easily than Mr. E in the previous story). The Laughing Mask uses a glowing mask dangling from the skylight to lure gunfire before shooting the bad guys. And he shoots to kill, leaving only one of the entire gang alive to testify. Later, when discussing the killings as Dennis Burton, he shows no remorse and says "he sure saved us a lot of trouble!" Definitely Chaotic.
He leaps to the ground "with great agility," perhaps being allowed to reduce his falling damage by burning a stunt (no more than half-off, I hope). He races with "the speed of the wind," which if taken literally is likely a superpower buffing his movement rate, but he also could be using a stunt to move faster than his normal speed.
