Synopsis:
Ray Palmer and Jean Loring join their nature club on a hike in some nearby caves. Ray encounters the Bat-Knights which begin attacking. Even when he reduces in size to become the Atom, the miniature warriors continue their attack, knocking him unconscious.

Atom recovers and escapes a trap. He then meets Hestera, a girl from Elvara. She tells him that two costumed men are using a ultra-sonic boomer to control the Bat-Knights. Atom disables the boomer, then defeats the costumed men which include Eddie Gordon, the thief who had previously discovered the Elvarans. Once free from the control of Gordon, the Bat-Knights part ways with the Atom as friends.
