Synopsis:
Tubby Watts visits the office of artist Mort Morton, Jr. to complain that he doesn't receive credit as a hero. Tubby tells Mort that his assistance is vital to Johnny Quick, but Johnny always gets all the credit.

Tubby then tells the story of when he and Johnny witnesses a group of Nazi saboteurs blow up a bridge. Johnny went after the crooks, but was wounded. As a result of the head wound, Johnny lost his memory. Tubby then had to summon help to repair the bridge. He then fell on Johnny which restored his memory.

With his memory restored, Johnny is able to repair the bridge quickly. The saboteurs strike again, but Johnny foils their plan. He then apprehends them and turns them over to the military for trial.

After hearing Tubby's story, Mort agrees to draw it for Tubby. He then takes Tubby out to dinner.
