Synopsis:
Dr. Don Blake is visiting Europe when a race of stone men from Saturn land as a precursor to an invasion. A fisherman witnesses the landing and tells the locals about it. Only Blake believes him. The doctor investigates and is spotted by the aliens. He is lame and can't outrun them, so he hides in a nearby cave.

Inside the cave, Don Blake finds a wooden stick which transforms him into Thor the Norse thunder god. When Thor sets down his hammer he transforms back into Blake. He tries out his other powers, then goes after the aliens who have begun their invasion. When the stone men are unable to stop Thor, they call off the invasion and leave Earth.
