Showing the Challengers the scroll intrigues the group enough to check the castle out. While exploring the castle they are attacked by a name named Dranby who steals the items in a secret compartment, which are all super-scientific devices. During the incident Rocky and Ace are sprayed with a chemical that turns them into children.
While going after Dranby, Red and Prof are captured and taken prisoner. Mary, June, Ace and Rocky then rescue them from Dranby's prison, the age reducing spray wearing off.
