Dr. Jack Castle is called to Police HQ to look at a recent murder victim who doesn't have one drop of blood left in its body. He agrees to help the suffering people involved, but the Police will have to solve the mystery. More victims are reported and Castle cannot allow any more victims to die, so he changes to the Fiery Mask and prepares a trap at his lab. Swarms of ghoulish men come in and overpower the Mask, who is found injured the next morning by his nurse, who also discovers his secret identity. Later, he tracks down the man behind the terror, Dr. Sendach, an eminent stomach specialist.
