Headquarters fears that Dr. Duane has been captured by enemy agents, and orders Suicide Squad to investigate unofficially. The team books into a nearby resort so as to search surreptitiously. A giant monster seizes both Karin and a nuclear bomb being tested with a time device. Knocking the monster out with anesthetic the men free Karin, then tow the monster out to sea where the bomb explodes harmlessly. Suicide Squad regrets the monster's death, as they all surmise it was originally Dr. Duane.
