Having
spied on them as Ant-Man, Hank Pym grows into Giant-Man to capture a band of
crooks selling secrets to Red China. GM nabs the hoods and hangs them from poles
by their coats and then he pursues the leader, Nathan Garrett, who is escaping
by car. Giant-Man jumps on the back of the car, flipping Garrett through the
air and into the hero’s arms. A judge sets the treasonous Garrett’s bail at one
hundred thousand dollars; the Chinese pay it and Garrett flees the country,
finding a refuge in a Balkan kingdom. There, Garrett outfits a lab and sets to
genetic experiments to create a winged horse….
A short
time later, Wasp arrives late at Hank Pym’s lab and claims that she witnessed a
Black Knight on a winged horse robbing an armored car, using a lance that cut a
hole in the truck and scooped up a bag of cash. Hank doesn’t believe her until
the radio reports the same thing. Hank checks in with the ants and they tell him
the Black Knight is attacking a helicopter in flight. Giant-Man and Wasp head
out to investigate. Hank and Janet board an Air Force cargo plane and arrive at
the scene. GM jumps out and latches hold of the copter, hanging from the
landing gear by one arm. Black Knight blinds him with a mirror then fires a
bolo, entangling the hero. GM recognizes the Knight as Nathan Garrett who
boasts of the array of weapons he has created, not all of which are in the
lance. He fires an itch-ray which forces Giant-Man to let go of the copter and
fall; Hank pops a shrinking capsule in his mouth and reduces to ant-size which
frees him from the bolo cords and he is caught by Wasp. She deposits both of
them on the back of the winged horse; Hank grows to normal size and battles the
bad guy who drops him over an amusement park where he catches a parachute ride
and is deposited safely on the ground. Meanwhile, Wasp pinches the horse so
that it bucks the Black Knight off so that he lands on a roller coaster. Giant-Man
snatches him but at that moment, the horse bucks full-size Wasp off so Hank
lets the baddie loose to grab Wasp with one hand and the helicopter with the
other. Black Knight tries to shoot Hank in the back with his paralysis ray gun
but Hank pops a shrinking capsule, the shot misses, and BK leaps off the roller
coaster onto his horse’s back and away….
