The second story involves Dr. Peters, a scientist who has developed a molecular ray capable of transforming substances into their opposite state; his colleague Baleen betrays him, steals the ray and its notes, and plots to use the device to gain world domination. The final story depicted follows a lighthouse keeper and an inventor named Tucker who discover a mysterious pirate captain, André Duprez, at a lighthouse; the captain reveals he is repairing his damaged vessel and seeking a rare aircraft component from the lighthouse's equipment.
