Synopsis for "Fin Fang Foom!"
Fin Fang Foom is deliberately awakened from his slumber in a tomb by teenager Chen Liuchow, whose homeland is under threat from the Communist Chinese. Liuchow taunts Foom with the threat of the sleep herb, goading the dragon into chasing him, and leads him straight into the Communist camp, which Foom decimates. Liuchow subsequently leads Fin Fang Foom back into his tomb, where the application of the herb returns Foom to his sleep.
