The Atom must discover how the subway system of a great city has been destroyed. It seems that the Jovian beings are attacking the iron rails of the city's subway system, eating the tracks. When the Atom finds that he can't stop them, he talks to Hawkman, who explains what happened in Silverland City. Atom asks the Police to construct an oxygen accelerator for him, then confronts the beings, sprays them and the beings turn red. Atom explains that the beings were eating (and becoming) iron, and that by feeding that iron with oxygen at high pressure, he literally "rusted" the creatures to death!
