Synopsis:
The League of Challenger-Haters escape incarceration in cells beneath Challengers Mountain with the help of another Multi-Woman robot created by Multi-Man. The League then creates a plot to destroy the Challengers.

After putting out an underground fire in a mine shaft, the Challengers learn of a cosmic menace which threaten to freeze the Earth. The Challengers are ordered to accept the help of the League to defeat several cosmic creatures. Each member of the League appears to perish, and the Challengers sacrifice themselves to bury the creatures underground.

The Challs then discover that the creatures were fakes created by the League. The criminals have survived and succeeded in trapping the Challs. However, the Challs reprogram the robot creatures to dig them out. Once free, the Challs apprehend the League once again.
