Two pulp adventure stories set in 1940s Chicago.
In the first story, the city is under the control of a ruthless crime boss who seeks to unite all illegal activities under his control. Unexpected competition arrives in the person of a masked killer, The Inferno, who uses flame as a weapon. Opposing them both is The Eclipse, a masked vigilante.
In the follow-up story, a new crime lord has stepped in to take the place of the fallen gang leader. He sets his sights on obtaining a powerful new weapon that will guarantee him a stranglehold on the city. The Eclipse squares off against gangland and a ruthless band of saboteurs intent upon securing the device for their rival nation.
