Doc KO Watchman

Over the dissolving form towered an awesome man-figure that looked like solid, tempered bronze, it was such a figure as the watchman had never seen.

The watchman went wild. He tried to put into effect his shoot-first-and-question-later creed. He got his gun out.

But about that time, a ton of dynamite seemed to explode on his jaw. He never even saw the great bronze fist which had hit him.

Doc Savage swept the watchman up. He glided silently across the floor. The gloom behind a vice president's desk swallowed him and his burden.
