Synopsis: Burt Langdon has stolen the Horn of Herix from a museum. The Challengers track Langdon to a valley where a Doom Box, a legendary weapon, is hidden. Weird boobytraps slow the Challs: an alligator, a tree-turned-elevator, and giant robot Romans. They find the horn discarded, then the Doom Box guarded by a flames and a two-headed dragon! Ace blows the horn and a ray from the box drives back the dragon and flames. Langdon’s gang attacks, grabs the box, and runs.
