Synopsis:
Scientist Raymond Rall creates an army of metal robots and unleashes them against the eastern seaboard of the United States. When a robot threatens Inza, Doctor Fate rescues her. He learns that the robots are controlled remotely, so he disrupts the radio signals. The robot army falls dead, allowing men to disassemble them safely.

Doctor Fate traces the radio signals and finds more robots. He uses magnetism to lure this group into the ocean where they rust. Fate then tracks down Rall. The scientist attacks using a lightning weapon, but Fate survives. The lab then catches fire, and the scientist is killed in the blaze.
