In prehistoric times, a flying manta ray survives a \"radioactive storm\" and is encased in ice. Today, it breaks free and soars over the coast, zapping lighthouses, jets, and the Chrysler Building with laser-eyes. The Joint Chiefs send Col. Casper to Dr. Will Magnus's vast laboratory complex. Magnus dances with a platinum robot - who talks! To fight the \"creature\", Magnus creates five more robots: Gold, Lead, Iron, Mercury, and Tin. \"Meet the Metal Men!\" A UHF TV shows the creature tearing up a cable bridge. \"We're going to battle it!\"
