Doctor Smart plans a million-dollar robbery and is so confident of success, he sends the police a note informing them. The Torch, Toro and the police are waiting for him, but he is ready for everything they try and races away with the money in a hearse. He is eventually forced off a bridge and into the river where he escapes. Not giving up on getting the money, he sends a diver down to recover it. The Torch and Toro start to chase the boat but run into a trap and get caught in the blast from a floating mine.
