Synopsis:
The CIA contacts the Atom, sending him to Vienna to collect an anti-gravity metal hidden inside a toy store. Foreign agents intercept the Tiny Titan and try to exterminate him by attaching him to a grenade. Atom escapes the trap and returns to defeat the agents. He returns to America with the anti-gravity metal, but warns the government that he suspects it is a bomb developed by the foreign power. Tests reveal, the substance would have destroyed the country had it been used.
