Synopsis for "The Secret of Easter Island"
A group of four men travel to Easter Island to discover its secrets. There they find a crypt where some aliens from a planet in the Sirius system are in suspended animation. Awaking, the aliens offer to grant the four men their wishes. Hugh Reed asks for knowledge; the alien shows how they came from the Sirian planet and arrived on the continent of Mu. After granting the natives their scientific secrets, the natives misused these powers, fighting each other and unchaining a terrible disaster that sank the continent.
