The Pentagon sends Major Glenn Talbot to the Air Force base under General Thunderbolt Ross command. Talbot becomes the chief security officer. Like Ross, Talbot is suspicious of Bruce Banner and his relationship with the Hulk.
Talbot gives Ross a very good first impression. And he likes Betty Ross the moment he sees her. Ross asks Betty to show Talbot around.
Meanwhile, Banner created an electronic scanner to find the indestructible robot, and heads for the hills. The unnamed spy, still inside the robot, finds one of Banner's secret cave labs. There, he stumbles upon a missile, and sets it to destroy the military base.
Riding a helicopter, Talbot and Betty find Banner in the hills. The robot sees the aircraft and throws a big boulder at it. Banner turns into the Hulk and breaks the boulder into small pieces. Talbot uses his body to shield Betty, getting hit by a stone. While both ignore the Hulk's heroics, Betty appreciates Talbot's bravery.
Hulk fights the robot, reaching to the edge of a deep pit. At the same time, the missile launches toward the base. Hulk throws the robot into the pit and leaps to the sky, breaking the missile with a blow. The explosion knocks the Hulk out, who falls into the ground.
Back on the helicopter, Talbot finds the unconscious Hulk and informs Ross who is delighted by the news.
Soldiers lock the Hulk with unbreakable chains of Tony Stark and Banner invention. Hulk wakes up, and unsuccessfully tries breaking free. Oh, oh, it seems the strain may turn him back into Banner in front of Ross, Talbot and Betty!
“Now Walks the Android” Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

Synopsis: While Giant-Man and Wasp
are putting on a show for kids at a hospital, Egghead escapes from prison to
carry out his latest scheme against the heroes. Making his way to a secret
underground lab, he develops a living cell ray that can bring a miniature figure
to life; he uses a vibrator gun to break into a clothing store and use it again
to make a life-sized mannequin float back to the lab. He then coats the
mannequin with a special clay compound and uses his ultra-beta beam to cause it
to grow to twelve feet tall, stepping in front of the beam himself to create a
psychic bond so that he can control the android by thought….
The next day, Hank and Janet test
their new converti-car and return home to find in the mail an offer to make a
film series based on their adventures. Hank is reluctant but Janet persuades
him that being a role model for kids is a worthy goal. So Giant-Man and Wasp
fly their converti-car over to the address indicated and find it a
dismal-looking warehouse. The doors slam shut behind them and the android
appears at Egghead’s command to challenge Giant-Man who grows to his full
twelve feet in response. Egghead announces his presence and informs the heroes
that there is only one hour’s supply of oxygen in the room and the fight is on.
Giant-Man comes off worse because the android can change his weight and float or
solidify making him impervious to the hero’s blows. Wasp attacks with her
stings, making the monster chase her and try to squash her. Giant-Man swings at
his foe and it goes weightless again—and Giant-Man grabs it by the ankles and
swings it around in a circle, causing Egghead with his psychic bond to grow
dizzy. He agrees to open the door if only the swinging stops; the heroes escape
and see the android, uncontrolled, walk
off a pier and into the river.
