(Script) Otto Binder
(Pencils/Inks) C.C. Beck
Billy Batson is strolling through the park when he suddenly finds himself neck deep in quicksand. Transforming to Capt Marvel he finds the entire park filled with quicksand. Cap rescues the people in the park but the quicksand continues to grow beyond the park boundaries. He hears a sound below ground and dives under and finds a man pumping oil into the ground to create the quicksand. Cap smashes the machine but the villain escapes.
Capt Marvel returns to WHIZ but finds the entire building sinking. He carries the entire building to a safe location and then joins an emergency meeting of the city council. They consult a quicksand expert who asks for a million dollars to solve the problem. The man suggests pouring concrete into the ground and Cap uses his super abilities to accomplish the task. Since Cap did all the work the quicksand expert reduces the cost to a half million. Marvel spots the clothes of the man who was creating the quicksand in the experts closet and punches him so hard it appears his back breaks. Off to jail, stories over.
