While Jim and Willy are talking on their ham radios, Willy yells that he's being attacked by some sort of creature. Jim tells his dad who contacts Mark and Elsa. Driving to investigate, Mark and Elsa find the road elevating, twisting, turning, and finally dumping them out of their car. They walk into town and find no people, but giant shadows who fire a shell at them. Trapped by beams of light, they're transformed into shadows and transported to another dimension, where they find the missing townspeople. But Mark starts acting strangely, arming himself with weapons at a local arsenal. Using a dimension ray, he and Elsa return to Earth, where he uses an atomic alteration lens to return to his actual form of W'Dor, a wanted criminal from the other dimension, having made the switch during the shelling. W'Dor's people were trying to protect the people of this town by transferring them to their dimension while they hunted for W'Dor. But now W'Dor has weapons and a hostage. His people show up to capture him, but suddenly an elephant, really Mark having also used the alteration lens, immobilizes him.; Detective Pearce is flying over stormy mountains with his prisoner Chuck Wingart when their plane goes down. Separated after the crash, Pearce is befriended by the People of the Storm, while Wingart connects with the Sun People. Both men are given powers from their respective sponsors to help them survive, but their goals remain the same, capture for one, escape for the other.; Guide Joe Red Feather helps Martin Hawks find a ancient Indian pipe told of in legend. According to the legend, Minoni, the medicine man, controlled the pipe and could call different spirits from it. After Minoni called the Eagle Spirit to kill Chief Tihuaki, the chief's son avenged his father by using a silver arrow. Rubbing it in the dirt he was able to kill the Eagle spirit, dipping it in water he was able to kill the Fire Spirit. Minoni took the pipe and buried it so that his son or his son's son could use it again someday. After putting the pipe on display, it is stolen, and the Spirits begin to appear again. Hawks pilots a plane he names the Silver Arrow and takes to the air to defeat the Spirits as the last descendent of Tihuaki.
