Synopsis:
Hillary Mycroft steals a mirror from a museum exhibit. The mirror once belonged to the sorcerer Kregon and can be used to reveal ancient secrets. The Challengers pursue Mycroft and recover the mirror, but not before the criminal has used it. The Challs use the mirror themselves to discover where Mycroft has gone.

Red and Prof split up from the others to track down some of Mycroft's men. The crooks recover hidden treasures despite the efforts of the Challs. Ace and Rocky follow Mycroft, but they too fail to stop him from recovering the last treasure. When combined, the treasures will give Mycroft control over a giant being, but Red has damaged one of the pieces so it fails to work. The Challs then apprehend Mycroft and his men.
