Synopsis for "The Isle of No Return"
When the criminal scientist Anton Zammer uses inventions stolen from the late Professor Macon to commit crimes, the Challengers try to stop him, but are shrunk down to miniature size when they land near his base. Zammer stampedes the Challengers and keeps June Robbins as a prisoner, but the Challengers soon manage to return to their own size and stop Zammer, and deactivate Macon's devices by using Macon's greatest, and final invention. This last device activates and disables all the other Macon tech, after which Zammer is easily caught and arrested.
