The Challengers find a new headquarters in this story.
Synopsis:
The Challengers receive a mental summons to the laboratory of Scientist X. The lab has been ransacked, but a film reveals that the scientist has intended for the Challengers to take possession of various advanced weapons. A villain known as Dimension-Man has already stolen a device which allows him to pass through dimensions and become invisible. D-Man is partnered with a Nazi known as the Iron Dictator.
The Challs try to decipher clues to the location of the other weapons. Dimension-Man lets the Challengers work on it because he wants to find the location himself. He uses the Iron Dictator to distract the Challs, while he conducts his own search.
D-Man also tries to make the Challs think one of them is a traitor. Prof creates a mind prober machine to discover who the traitor is. Fearing his plan will be revealed, D-Man strikes. However, Prof's machine is a fake. He suspected that there was no traitor and used the machine to lure D-Man into action. They defeat the Iron Dictator's storm troopers, then discover the underwater lab of Scientist X. The Challs decide to make the base their new headquarters.
