Captain Midnight becomes the star witness against Jagga, the Space Raider, who then surprises everyone on the courtroom when he announces that he is not a human being, therefore the laws of the nation do not apply to him! Even so, the court finds him guilty, and is sentenced to death, but further shocks all when the electric chair cannot kill him and he makes good his escape. Midnight tracks him down and leads his to his personal laboratory, when Jagga is supposedly killed by Midnight's radioactive ray machine.
