Synopsis for "The Terrible Termites"
A new species of larger, smarter termites evolves, and seeks to take over the world. Professor Jimcrack learns of this and hastens to warn Billy Batson. The WHIZ Radio building is undermined by the big bugs, and it drops below the ground. One pacifist Termite, Uggo, turns against the Terrible Termite leader, Toth, and exposes him as an unworthy coward. Under Uggo's leadership the Terrible Termites make no further trouble for the humans. Captain Marvel moves the WHIZ building back into place and, assisted by the Termites, repairs all the damage.
