After a series of electrical disasters, FBI agent Woodley Allen contacts Starman to investigate the cause. Starman uses his gravity rod and locates an electrical discharge coming from a mountain range. Investigating, he finds the lab of Dr. Doog, a criminal scientist who has kidnapped Professor Davis, inventor of the Ultra-Dynamo. Starman and his gravity rod defeat Doog and rescue Davis. The source of electrical disturbances, the Ultra-Dynamo, is destroyed in the process.
