Synopsis:
Three members of the Young All-Stars are joined on the west coast by the Chinese hero Kuei. They travel to the University of Berkeley to meet with scientists who are developing a uranium bomb. However, Sea Wolf and Kamikaze from Axis Amerika get there first. Although the All-Stars give chase, the villains escape with the scientists as their prisoners.

Meanwhile in Chicago, Dyna-Mite, Tigress, and the English hero Squire defend Robert Oppenheimer and others from Horned Owl and Usil of Axis Amerika. The heroes fail to stop the abduction of the scientists. Dyna-Mite himself is captured, and Tigress is critically wounded during the fight.
