Mystery Island, where the scientistic genius, Doctor Strange lays his plans for world domination.
In the aircraft nimbus is P.O.P.S., the one key that can aid and give him the power to dominate the world.
Above Mystery Island, is Chuck Kelly, pilot. Sue Corwin, computer expert, and her brother Sandy.
To force them down, Doctor Strange uses his projector beam ray.
Doctor Strange offers our trapped trio freedom, if they surrender P.O.P.S., they refuse. He then orders his men to capture P.O.P.S.
Can our trio escape from the perils that surround them?
On Mystery Island.
