Synopsis:
Professor Hiram Gaunt develops a device which can boost human brain power. Using the device on himself, Gaunt outwits chess masters and gains a limited ability to read minds. He puts his new talents to use by robbing a bank, which brings him into contact with Sandman and Sandy.

The heroes fail to stop Gaunt in their first encounter, but using a chess robot, learn his identity. They follow Gaunt to a gambling den, where the professor has used his unique abilities to cash in. Then the crimefighters bust up the gambling ring and capture Gaunt.
