Synopsis:
Starman is summoned to help battle a raging forest fire. He saves some rangers, then sets out to find the men who started the blaze. He finds to men fleeing and forces them to admit they were hired by a man named Classy.

Starman located the man at a logging camp and defeats him and his men. However, the leader of the gang is unknown. Starman turns over the gang to the FBI, and he soon learns that Doris has been kidnapped.

The kidnapper is Bill Baxter, the secret leader of the saboteurs. He plans a trap for Starman and detonates explosives when the hero tries to rescue Doris. Starman and Doris are stunned and the gravity rod is broken, but both survive. Starman then tracks down Baxter and turns him in to the FBI.
