The Challengers are called to investigate the killing of scientists at a secret government lab. There, they're attacked by a computer-wraith made of bundled wires charged with electricity. Prof is possessed by the monster's evil spirit and colludes to kill his friends, resisting all the while. The Challs wrap themselves with copper wire to ground the electrical charge and throw dynamite at the monster. Prof guesses Dr. Fillmore drove the computers mad just as Fillmore attacks. The dynamite goes off leaving no sign of Fillmore or the monster. But Prof knows the evil spirit still possesses him.
