In this episode, the Mysterons steal a nuclear reactor to bring devastation to the Atlantic Seaboard of North America, damaging Earth's prestige.
A transporter delivering a nuclear reactor to the Manicougan Power Complex is destroyed by the Mysterons, who reconstruct driver, vehicle and cargo as part of their plan to damage Earth's prestige by destroying the Atlantic Seaboard of North America. Expo 2068, a futuristic building development, is under construction, with a fleet of Seneca remote-controlled helicopters ferrying various materials to the site.
