Garak the Glow has been sent to Labyrinth for imprisonment. However, he has been implanted with bio-circuits which disrupt security on the prison world. Garak is able to free himself and other prisoners, starting a riot. Tsaquin, the warden, contacts the Legion for help.

Polar Boy dispatches a large group of Legionnaires. He sends Wildfire, Dawnstar, and Ultra Boy in advance. They help to slow down the escaping prisoners until the rest of the team can arrive in a cruiser. Eventually they manage to recapture most of the escapees. A few prisoners did escape including the Emerald Empress whom Garak had specifically been tasked with releasing.
