Synopsis:
The Challs rescue a stage magician, Kandu, from some out of control electrical robots. Later, they attend one of Kandu’s shows and find him acting suspiciously. While investigating, they run across a bird creature that uses eye-beams to turn things to stone.

The Challs defeat the creature and question Kandu. He is a interplanetary policeman, who has come to Earth to stop three creatures that criminals left on Earth. The Challs help him defeat the other two beasts as well as a criminal who has stolen some of Kandu’s equipment. Then, Kandu returns home.
