Synopsis:
The Metal Men hide from the robot queen and her servants, unable to break free of the bracelet which binds them together. After escaping several hazards, the Metal Men are located by the queen. Tin has also returned in the Metal Men’s rocket to rescue them. Tina makes a last ditch effort and frees the team from the bracelet. Tina’s effort inspires the queen’s servants to rebel against her. The uprising gives the Metal an opportunity to escape in the rocket, having gradually returned to normal size.
