While attending an importers conference, Alan Dell witnesses a giant creature emerge from the depths of the Earth. He calls June Moone to tell her about the monster, which appears unstoppable. June becomes the Enchantress and flies to meet the creature. The giant is drawn to the sun and follows it as the sun moves across the sky. The Enchantress uses her magic, but the creature proves resistant. She is forced to act defensively to protect the city when the monster destroys a nearby dam. She finally manages to lure the monster into space probe which is sent into space.
