[edit] Plot
Dr Benson, a friend of charter pilot Bruce Gentry, kidnapped by the masked mystery villain The Recorder (who only issues orders through recordings) in order to perfect the villain's flying saucers. Industrialist Paul Radcliffe hires Bruce to investigate the saucers as he thinks they may have a commercial use.
Necessary for the production of the flying saucers is a mineral called Platonite. The Recorder's only source, an abandoned mine on the land belonging to Jaunita and Frank Farrell, has run dry and he needs to steal supplies from the US Government.
