Synopsis:
Following his battle with Stingaree, Metamorpho brings the body of Element Girl back to Stagg's laboratory in hopes that Simon can revive her. Before they can begin work, Stagg receives a call from the president asking for help investigating a U.F.O.

Metamorpho and Stagg meet the crew of the U.F.O. when it lands. The pilot is Vrag-Kol, who claims to be an alien. Metamorpho exposes Vrag-Kol as a phony, which prompts the pilot to attack. Metamorpho is frozen, and Stagg is taken hostage.

Stagg is forced to persuade the president to give Vrag-Kol the location of a secret weapons cache. Vrag-Kol plans to use the weapons for world domination. Metamorpho recovers in time to warn the military, which in turn succeeds in destroying the weapons before Vrag-Kol can use them.
