Synopsis:
Hawkman receives several letters alerting him to a series of crimes committed by insect men. At the JSA meeting, Hawkman dispatches the members of individual assignment to combat the insect men and locate the man behind the creations. Each JSAer is successful in defeating groups of the insect men and learning the name King Bee, the man behind the crimes. They converge on King Bee’s lab in the Great Forest where he has developed the hormones which transforms men into insects. The crook tries to escape, but the combined might of the JSA prevails.
