Synopsis:
The Atomic Knights travel to Detroit where Abner Henderson has created a factory. Inside the factory, Henderson and his plant workers have built the first post-war automobile. While showing the car to the Knights, a tyrant group called the Blue Belts and led by Organizer Kadey, try to take the vehicle. The Knights fight them off.

Henderson explains that the Blue Belts have set themselves up as tyrants and have atomic weapons. The Knights assault their headquarters. When Kadey uses the atomic pistols against the Knights, their armor protects them. Kadey and his group are deposed, and the people are released from tyranny. Henderson gives the car to the Knights, who then return to Durvale.
