A man called Mr. Mind approaches Roy Raymond claiming to have the power of mind over matter. Mr. Mind gives several examples of his power and demonstrates them on Raymond's TV show by melting a ball of lead. After the show crooks approach Mr. Mind and hire him to help melt bank vaults. The man takes the money and plans to leave town. Raymond interrupts his escape with an explanation for Mr. Mind's tricks. The crooks arrive and learn that they have been double-crossed. Roy is caught in the middle, but he uses the fumes from a hallucinagenic leaf to trick the crooks into surrendering.
