Mrs. Culligan has disappeared even though Voice-Over and Fred were assigned to guard her.
Investigating the matter, they find no clues as for how it has happened. Was there any truth in her talk about Martians after all? But a "Martian blaster" they find in Culligan’s apartment proves to be a toy.
Ralph Bartoli and his lawyer Eric F. Schuster seek out Brother Bicep to inform him that they are filing criminal charges against him after his rough handling of Bartoli the last issue.
