The city corporation has apparently planted rows of trees in a quiet suburb. Nearby is a factory which manufactures a miracle plant-growing substance, more valuable than platinum. A gang of crooks surreptitiously lifts a tree from its hole in order to burrow underground towards the factory. Greg reports that no trees have been planted by the corporation during the past year. As The Vigilante, he and Stuff go to the factory in time to see the gang making their escape. In their wake the stolen chemical causes grasses and other seeds to grow to an enormous size.
