Synopsis:
Juhl, a citizen of the planet Zuna, requests the assistance of the Challengers. His planet has been taken over by robots. The robots have been powered by a radiation which is deadly to them. The Challs travel to Zuna to help Juhl.

An antidote that will disable the robots has been created by Juhl’s people. Unfortunately, they have no way to administer it. Rocky and Ace steal an ancient aircraft from a museum that is loaded with a supply of the antidote.

Red and Prof sneak in to the robot base and disable Kra, the robot leader. Prof takes over Kra’s body and makes him order all the robots to the city square. Once there, Ace flys overhead in the aircraft and sprays the robots with the antidote. Juhl’s people are saved, and the Challs return home.
