When a villain named Dekkar uses a machine to steal the Challengers' memories, June Robbins must show her amnesiac friends how to defeat their foe.

The Plot to Destroy Earth! · 13.67 pages
The Challengers stumble upon an alien plot to dismantle the Earth. A mole-creature will slice the Earth apart. A sea monster will hold back the seas. A flying creature will trap the air, and pie-shaped slices of Earth will be stolen by a robotic ship! Ace jets to the ship and finds it's on autopilot, run by robots for a long-dead race. The Challengers attack the creatures without success, until they inflate huge balloons that simulate the creatures dying. The robots abort the mission as a failure and depart.
