Jim Hammond, the Human Torch, returns to action after four years by capturing Crime Boss and his henchmen, turning them over to Chief Wilson at the police department. He told Wilson he was buried by Crime Boss and four years later was able to escape to bring him to justice. Hammond flies to Korea and extracts his partner Toro, who'd been brain-washed by the Communists. Wilson's daughter Mary is captured by The Butcher, an associate of Crime Boss, and Hammond flies off to exchange himself for Mary. Hammond is saved by a now cured Toro, Mary is saved and The Butcher apparently killed.
