Synopsis:
After a string of armored truck robberies the Ant-Man is summoned by the owner of the truck company, Howard Mitchell. Ant-Man asks Mitchell to announce a large shipment. He plans to lay in wait for the hijacker. On the day of the delivery, Ant-Man has a sudden pain in his abdomen. He has his ants carry him away to the hospital, leaving the truck vulnerable. The hijacker strikes and captures the truck. However, Ant-Man's condition was a ruse. He is waiting for the hijacker who turns out to be Mitchell himself. Ant-Man catches the crook and turns him over to police.
