Synopsis
  • The Challengers are visited one day by their honorary member June and her friend Mary, who have brought them a scroll which she found in a castle she had inherited in the land of Mordania. Showing the Challengers the scroll intrigues the group enough to check the castle out. While exploring the castle they are attacked by a name named Dranby who steals the items in a secret compartment, which are all super-scientific devices. During the incident Rocky and Ace are sprayed with a chemical that turns them into children. While going after Dranby, Red and Prof are captured and taken prisoner. Mary, June, Ace and Rocky then rescue them from Dranby's prison, the age reducing spray wearing off. Stopping Dranby from using his army of Star Cars as weapons, the Challengers expose him to the age reducing water and give him a firm spanking before turning him over to the authorities.
  • While piloting their plane the Challengers lose control of it and it's forced to land, on the ground they meet an alien named Juhl who comes from a world where their robots have taken over the planet. Juhl has come seeking the Challengers aid. Accepting the mission they travel to Juhl's aid, where the group clash with the robots, taking control of their leader Kra and spray the world's robots with sand, immobilizing them all. With their mission complete Juhl returns them home.
