Synopsis for Three Aces: "The City with the Golden Domes"

The Aces discover a golden city sitting atop Mount Shaska. But when they go in to investigate, their planes are struck by strange light waves, and they are captured by robed men. Gunner, Whistler, and Fog then meet Ferro, the robed ones leader. Ferro was a brilliant scientist among his people, the Lemurians. Descended from an ancient race akin to Atlanteans, the Lemurians built a city at the mountains peak to avoid the flood waters. They've been living here for thousands of years ever since.

Ferro shows off his invention a machine that can take radio-waves from all over the world and turn them into lethal vibrations that can cause terrible damage across the world. The Aces are tossed into a cell where they can watch the world end. Luckily, Will is able to slice through his bonds by rubbing them against the coarse wall. The Aces escape the guards and run upstairs towards the roof. Gunner had an idea how to stop Ferro's mad plan.

At the highest point in the city, Gunner begins waving his arms around in a signal. After a few minutes, Will and Fog watch as an explosion rocks a neighboring tower. Ferro and his entire laboratory are destroyed in the flames! Gunner explains that he figured Professor Harkin would be keeping an eye on the golden city through his telescope, so Bill sent him a signal to tell all the broadcast stations in the nation to direct their transmissions at full power towards Mount Shaska. Ferro's machine simply couldn't handle it!

The Lemurian people are happy that Ferro's reign has ended. In the future, they will not allow any one person to take control of their lives, instead living a peaceful existence here in the city.
