Synopsis:
The Challengers track down a mysterious criminal with an invention that lets him walk through walls. The trail leads to a small island where the crook has a secet hide-out. When the Challs land on the island, the crook, Anton Zammer, captures them after using a shrinking ray to reduce their size. He reveals that the inventions were created by the late Professor Macon. Zammer offers the Challengers a look at Macon's final and greatest invention.
Meanwhile, June has stowed away in the Challengers helicopter. She sneaks into the lab and breaks the Challengers free before the new invention can be activated. The Challs restore themselves to normal size, then the new machine activates. The invention disables all the other inventions, leaving the Challs free to capture Zammer.
