X had to make a quick choice. One of the Mongols was in an excellent position to knife him from the rear. But across the room, another had come to grips with the redheaded girl. X thought of himself last and delayed his move for self preser vation long enough to shoot a leg out from under the yellow man who was trying to knife the redhead. Instantly X dropped almost to all fours in time to catch the Mongol who sprang from behind him, by means of a body-block which threw the yellow man heels over head.... The Agent sprang toward the two Mongols who seemed to be guarding the masked man. If he could but lay the leader by the heels the whole elaborate and deadly scheme of the cult might be defeated....
—from the pages of an issue of Secret Agent X, one of the pulp magazine era’s most thrilling publications.
