Synopsis:
Earth is threatened by the Synthetic Men, five artificial humans developed by the army which have gone rogue. The Synthetic Men take over the small town of Calnit and attempt to create others of their kind. Captain Comet attempts to stop them, but the Synthetic Men are immune to his powers. He eventually discovers that the creatures breathe nitrogen, so he traps them in a room filled with pure oxygen. As a result, the Synthetic Men are turned into solid marble statues, ending the threat.
