Fuzz Against Junk - This section follows the "foremost narcotics expert of the United Kingdom", Sir Edwin Fuzz, to New York as he investigates outbreaks of violence in an underworld of "drug-addled beatnik depravity". The narrative uses collage work based on found 19th-century illustrations with humorous captions.  

The Hero Maker - This part is a satirical account of the "Royal Heroic Society", a group whose mission to create heroic individuals involves members submitting to physical trials that are often fatal. This section features more extensive collage work, including a notable "octopus-headed man" illustration.
