Synopsis:
Doc Magnus and the Metal Men attempt a rescue mission to retrieve Tin from space. Before they can get there though, he is taken prisoner by giant alien robots whose queen wishes Tin to be her King. The Metal Men follow the robots to their world, but are captured and turned into a charm bracelet for the queen’s amusement.
Tin is forced to consume the alien food which causes him to grow into a giant and temporarily makes him a tyrant. Eventually he regains his mind and rescues the Metal Men and Doc. The alien food wears off, returning Tin to normal size, but Doc and the other Metal Men have consumed the food also and they grow to giant size. Tin is forced to return to Earth in the Metal Men’s rocket, while the remaining members of the team stay behind because they can not fit inside the rocket.
