Human Meteor
Duke O’Dowd and his boy sidekick Toby have just dropped off a scientist named Professor Ruxton. Impressed by the scientist’s lab, Professor Ruxton invites Duke and Toby to stay and watch him launch one of his new experimental rockets. As the launch is being prepared, Duke gets a call from Wah Le on his Mentala-Phone. Wah Le warns Duke that Genghis Khan is attacking a city in Tibet. Needing to get there quickly, Duke asks Professor Ruxton to direct his rocket at Tibet, convincing the scientist to let him ride inside so he can report back the success of the launch. Surprisingly, the scientist allows both Duke and, just before take-off, Toby stows away onboard. As Duke changes into the Human Meteor he catches Tuby lurking around and scolds him for putting himself in danger. Still, it’s too late, as the pair soon arrive in China.
Arriving in the city, the Human Meteor aims the rocket at the armies of Genghis Khan and bails out with Toby. After dropping Toby off at Wah Le’s palace, the Human Meteor goes back outside and attacks the invading armies. While the hero is busy, some of Genghis Khan’s minions manage to kidnap Toby. Fighting one-on-one with the giant Genghis Khan, the Human Meteor manages to disarm his foe of his flaming sword and winds him. That’s when Wah Le calls to inform the hero that Toby had been kidnapped. The Meteor manages to track down the Khan’s hideout and frees Toby. When Khan arrives he is seemingly buried alive when the Human Meteor fire a radium blast from his belt. With the invasion stopped, the Human Meteor and Toby return back to America where they resume their civilian lives.
