Synopsis:
Crime chief Doc Quin invents a device that turns him into the Rainbow Raider. Quin's flesh becomes different colors of the rainbow. Each color gives him a different super-power. When he and his gang begin a series of robberies, Robby Reed uses his H-Dial to become Balloon Boy.

Robby catches up to the Rainbow Raider after a robbery, however Quin uses his powers to create an orange mist which covers his escape. When Balloon Boy finally catches up to the gang at another robber, the Rainbow Raider absorbs his energy and powers. Robby uses the H-Dial to revert to his teenage self and avoid Quin's thugs.

Later, Robby becomes Muscle Man and tracks down the Rainbow Raider again. Once again, Robby fails to stop his opponent and must become still another super-hero, Radar-Sonar Man. His sonar powers come in handy when Rainbow Raider turns invisible with his ultra-violet color. Robby locates and apprehends the crook, then turns him over to police.
