Synopsis:
The Metal Men take Tina's body back to Mr. Conan. He has his doctors and scientists repair her, but she is slow to recover. The other Metal Men guard her as they believe Doc will return. Instead Magnus steals a hydrogen bomb and extorts the government using it as a threat.
Conan locates Doc's hideout, and the Metal Men minus Tina are dispatched to stop him. They climb a mountain and endure several traps left by Doc. Eventually they reach the base, but Doc surprises them. Iron sacrifices his body to stop Doc only to discover that it was only a robot. The real Doc has escaped.
After disarming the bomb, the Metal Men return to the hospital where Tina has recovered. Lieutenant McDonald proposes to her, but Tina can only cry.
