American newspaperman Keen Marlow is on assignment in Germany and is interesting in getting a scoop on the Strohm Prison. When he is refused entry and ordered to go to the German Ministry of Propaganda, Marlow instead decides to sneak into the prison and get a first hand account. Spotted and accused of being a slave, Keen is easily over powered by the Nazi guards who toss him into a prison cell after he refuses to answer all lines of questioning. When he refuses to be taken to his cell without a fight Marlow is once more overpowered and then whipped for his attempt at escape. Soon Marlow finds himself joined by German scientist Eric Schmitt. Schmitt refused to give his scientific secrets to the Nazis and was beaten half to death. Dying he passes Marlow his invention a serum that will boost Keen's natural strength and abilities. Ingesting the formula, Marlow is endowed with enhanced human abilities and fights his way out of his cell. He easily overpowers his captors, freeing their prisoners before locking the Nazis up in their own cells. Deciding to use his powers to fight against Nazi tyranny, Marlow develops the costumed identity of the Destroyer. Coming to the aid of German citizens being brutalized by their corrupt leaders, the Destroyer leaves a calling card at the scene of every rescue earning him the ire of the Gestapo. Their leader Captain Frederick Von Banger vows to capture and eliminate the Destroyer. The Destroy comes to von Banger instead and almost wins a one-on-one duel if not for Frederick activating a trap door causing the Destroyer to fall in a pit that is rapidly filled with water. Still armed with his knives, the destroyer breaks out of the trap and fights his way out of Banger's headquarters. When the Gestapo commander returns he finds that the Destroyer has escaped and is still on the loose.
