Synopsis:
The Metal Men stop a gang of bandits known as the Leopard Mask Gang. The gang leader escapes. He then visits Doc's lab and steals a group of evil Metal Men which Doc had developed for army research. Doc tries to stop the crook, but is struck in the head.

The Metal Men return to the lab just as the villain is leaving. They are defeated by their evil duplicates. Doc has amnesia, so Tina stays behind while her teammates split up to search for the evil robots.

When the Metal Men find their duplicates, they are beaten again. Doc and Tina then leave the lab to help. Doc is hit in the head again, which upsets Tina. The angry girl robot then single-handedly carries the evil robots into a vat of molten metal, which destroys them. After the battle, Doc recovers his memory and rebuilds Tina.
