The Atom is contacted by the C.I.A. to learn the secret behind a foreign nation's sudden back payment of debt in gold. Atom travels behind the Iron Curtain, where he finds a laboratory in which the gold is being irradiated. The communists plan to send the irradiated gold to America where it will kill the population. Atom disrupts their plan and dumps the gold into a river. He then warns the American government, foiling the communist plot.
