Description:  Buck, Wilma, and Prince Tallen are rescued from the gas-filled space-ship by Killer Kane's men and taken to the great Saturnian forum. To induce Tallen to do their bidding, they fit him with an electric ray-helmet which makes his mind a blank and transforms him into a human robot who does what he is told. Buck and Wilma are amazed to hear Tallen denounce them and order them imprisoned, and agree to fight with Kane. Grasping Lasca's ray pistol and using Tallen as a shield, Buck and Wilma make their escape in an underground bullet car. To prevent their getting away, Lasca throws a switch which closed a steel door in their path, and toward which their speeding car must crash and kill them all.
