In "Prisoner of the Electric Eye!", master escape artist Kly Toler is sent by the Solar Intelligence Service to infiltrate a suspicious sporting club on Saturn, where a secret scheme threatens to ignite war between Earth and the outer planet. Trapped in a cell with four open, unguarded doors, Toler finds himself unable to escape—despite the apparent freedom, the room holds a mystery far more dangerous than bars.
