Cover: It seems that monkeys say "vootie vootie!"Cover Artist: C.C. Beck.
Billy Batson is asked to play a wizard on "The Bonzo Show," a televison show starring a monkey named (oddly enough) Bonzo. Billy discovers that while he wears the turban that constitutes his wizard costume, Bonzo turns into a Captain-Marvel-Monkey when Billy says "Shazam!" Only when Billy takes the turban off can he become Captain Marvel. Bonzo gets ahold of the magic turban, and Captain Marvel can't return Bonzo to normal until he can get the turban back. A wacky chase ensues, and Captain Marvel can't beat the monkey who has the same powers he does. So, Cap takes Bonzo to a restaurant, and tricks Bonzo into taking his hat off at the coat-check. Bonzo is returned to the T.V. studio, safe and sound, where he can appear on television saying "vootie vootie!"
