Synopsis for "Prisoner of the Wizard"
The Wizard, a famous inventor and escape artists is finding his popularity is waining. With the Huamn Torch's adventures making headlines, the Wizard blames the Torch for his loss in popularity and so plans to ruin the Torch's reputation.
Planning a stunt which involves drilling deep into the Earth, the Wizard plans to get trapped in order to earn the Torch's trust. Being "rescued" by the Torch, the Wizard invites the Torch to his state-of-the-art home. Trapping the Torch in a room and dousing him with water, the Wizard dawns a suit that allows him to mimic the Torch's abilities and goes on a crime spree in order to ruin the Torch's reputation.
Johnny manages to escape and when the Wizard gets home, he offers the Torch a challenge: Having taken pictures of himself putting on the suit that mimicked the Torch's powers, the Wizard will fight him, one-on-one with no powers for the photos. However, when the Torch refuses to play the Wizards game. When the Torch is about to burn the pictures, they suddenly float out of the air and into the Torch's hands.
With the evidence in hand, the Torch has the Wizard arrested after proving the Wizard's guilty. After all is said and done, Johnny's sister Sue turns visible, revealing that she was the cause of the pictures flying out of the Torch's hand.

A four star general who has the responsibility of launching a nuclear counter attack is replaced by a robot who his bosses think is more suited for a role that requires absolute perfection. When an unidentified radar object approaches at ICBM speed, the robot concludes that it must be a Soviet first strike and prepares to launch a counter attack. The four star general suddenly remembers a satellite that was launched years ago and was scheduled to re-entry now and disconnects the robot before it can push the button. His grateful superiors reinstate him.
