Synopsis:
Adam returns to Rann and is greeted by Alanna. Suddenly, she disappears, turning invisible. The other Ranagarans have also been turned invisible, and an alien ship is attacking the planet. Adam shoots down the ship, but a group of invisible soldiers begins attacking as well.
Adam soon discovers that the invisible soldiers are merely a distaction. He and Alanna board the ship which has now been repaired and learn that an alien being, Ziathrion is behind the attack. Ziathrion is searching for a power source that his people have hidden on Rann. When he locates the object, he becomes invincible.
Adam tries to defeat Ziathrion, who plans on returning to his world as a conqueror. The power source is too strong for conventional weapons, so Adam delays long enough, so that the villain is whisked away with him when the Zeta Beam transports him to Earth. On Earth, Ziathrion is powerless as Adam predicted, thus the threat is neutralized.
