Synopsis:
Several underworld crime lords are frustrated by the Ant-Man. They hire a disgraced atomic scientist known as Egghead to eliminate their foe. Egghead devises a means to communicate with the ants. He appeals to their greed and vanity to turn them against Ant-Man. He then sets a trap for Ant-Man.

The Ant-Man arrives to stop a crime in progress. Egghead is waiting for him with a plan to trap his foe with flypaper. Ant-Man is not stuck to the paper. He and the ants then thwart and capture the thieves. Egghead escapes. Ant-Man later explains to police that Egghead's plan failed because the ants are not swayed by greed and vanity the way humans are.
