Synopsis
Hulk easily dispatches the soldiers, grabs Betty Ross and leaves. Rick Jones thinks he brought Betty to Banner’s secret cave lab and, effectively, he finds them there.
Hulk tries hitting Jones, but an earthquake makes them fall, knocking them out. Hulk turns into Bruce Banner at sunrise.
The brilliant scientist realizes how to get rid of the Toad Men. Using his Gammatron super cannon, Banner shoots the starships to a faraway point in space.
Banner then receives a pardon for his heroic actions. Yet Thunderbolt Ross distrusts Banner’s relation with the Hulk.
Right before sunset, Jones and Banner go to the secret cave and Rick locks Banner in a chamber to prevent the Hulk from escaping and rampaging at night.
