Synopsis:
A giant metal robot attacks a bank president then loots the bank vault. The Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy are unable to prevent the robot's getaway, so they return home. Sylvester then meets with a group of professors. One of them is Professor James Stanton, a Jekyll and Hyde type, also known as Dr. Weerd. The villain plans to kidnap Sylvester, but when he sees the Star-Spangled Kid, he grabs him instead.
The Kid learns that Dr. Weerd created the robot. He summons Stripesy who has followed after the Kid's abduction. After many tries, they finally defeat the robot. Dr. Weerd assumes his James Stanton identity which allows him to elude capture.
