Sterling Morris dispatches Billy to Hollywood because a movie studio he owns stock in is going bankrupt.

Synopsis for "The Monster Society of Evil, Chapter 6: Mr. Mind on Earth"

Dispirited, Captain Marvel returns to Earth. Reverting to Bill, he tries to take his mind off his failure to catch Mr. Mind by helping Steamboat to build a rock garden. Meanwhile, Mr. Mind's ship lands on Earth, builds another castle fortress and uses a ray to make worms and termites chew through the foundations of a skyscraper. In the middle of his usual broadcast, Billy sees the building start to topple. He changes to Captain Marvel and saves it from disaster, but finds a hunk of debris with a message warning of more to come chewed into it by Mr. Mind's army of vermin.

Steamboat looks in an empty lot for more rocks for his garden. He finds what he thinks is a toy castle a child threw away, and adds it to the garden.

When city hall nearly topples, Mr. Mind arrives in a tiny spaceship along with three of his minions arrive to force them to turn over control of the city to him. Marvel fights back and defeats the minions, but Mr. Mind himself flies away before he can be caught. Back at the rock garden Billy is captured by more of Mr. Mind's army of criminals, tied up and left in the basement of the building before the termites bring it down too. Fortunately some of them are attracted to smudges of chocolate cake on his face and eat through his gag, letting him change to Captain Marvel and save the building. Inspecting the rock garden again, Marvel finds the tiny replica of Mr. Mind's fortress and realizes he was there the whole time. Steamboat finds a talking worm in his apple, and Marvel realizes it can only be Mr. Mind himself, then prepares to stomp on the tiny villain.
