The expected declaration "Reprinted by popular demand", used by Western Publishing at the time for reprinted stories (in titles that were offered on a subscription basis), does not appear in this story. Perhaps because the first page, where it normally appears, has not enough empty space to accommodate it.
The indicia says "Entire contents Copyright (c) 1969, by Walt Disney Productions", not recognizing this story as a reprint. However, Panel One has the notation: "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Copr. 1953 by Walt Disney Productions World rights reserved", which contradicts the 1969 copyright information specified in the indicia.

- Mickey Mouse; Goofy; panicked man; thug #1; thug #2; bank teller; police officer; taxi driver; flying instructor

- A panicked man running for his life entrusts Mickey with a mysterious black box. Mickey stashes the black box in his bank safety deposit box. Two thugs rob the bank of the black box after Mickey leaves to join Goofy for the Goof's first flying lesson. The thugs beat Mickey to the airport, expecting a pilot to help them get away. Rather than climb into a flight simulator, Goofy takes the controls of a real plane - which the thugs climb aboard for their getaway. Mickey daringly joins them in mid-air and finds the box. Goofy opens it and receives a hypnotic message intended for the thugs' boss.
