Synopsis:
The Teen Titans join the Peace Corps in order to help volunteer workers in the South American country of Xochatan who are being menaced by a giant robot which the natives believe to be an ancient deity come to life. No sooner do they smash the robot threat than actual incarnations of the beast-god of a pyramid, which is due to be destroyed by a dam construction, begin to appear. The Titans battle the animal-deities to a standstill, until the temple is submerged on schedule and the creatures vanish, and Don Matanzas, a former oppressor of the natives of Xochatan, is revealed as the instigator of the threats.
