This story is reprinted from Police Comics #1.
Rod Reilly is the bored and wealthy socialite son of steel tycoon "Emerald" Ed Reilly, who decides to fight crime with his servant and friend, "Slugger" Dunn.
A criminal known as Sylvester Cole and his cronies attempt to murder a local steeplejack, but Firebrand swings into action and apprehends them. Unfortunately for Rod, the goons are unwilling to divulge any information to him. Police arrive on the seen, but mistake the masked mystery man as one of the criminals, forcing Rod to flee.
A short time later, Rod attends a war relief function. One of the party guests, Baron von Hanson becomes the unwitting victim of a pickpocket named Dippy Dolan. Rod intercepts Dolan and offers to purchase the wallet from him.
He soon discovers that Baron von Hanson is not a very reputable individual either. He finds the Baron's private vault which contains a fortune in stolen jewels. Changing to Firebrand, Rod fights the thieves and exposes their racket. Von Hanson is then forced into surrendering his ill-gotten gains to the war relief effort.
