Synopsis:
June’s friend Marie has inherited a castle containing a secret room. The Challengers are called in to solve the mystery. Inside a secret compartment, the Challengers find three boxes. They open the first box, and Ace and Rocky are sprayed by a liquid which restores their youth. In the confusion, the boxes are stolen by a man named Drabny.
The second box contains a helmet that gives Drabny a mind-over-matter ability. Drabny uses his abilities to take over the country of Mordania. Prof and Red go after him but get captured. They are freed by Ace and Rocky, and the youth serum wears off.
Using the helmet, and the contents of the third box, goggles that can see into the future, Drabny continues his goal of conquest against an army of tanks. The Challs help out and use the recovered youth serum to turn Drabny into a child. The devices are destroyed, and Drabny sent to prison.
