Seven Soldiers of Victory: "The Sense Master"

A powerful robot stalks dive bars throughout the city, abducting a small-time criminal from each one. Shining Knight sees this and tries to intervene, but the robot catches him from behind and knocks him out. The five kidnapped crooks are each given a treatment that enhances one of their senses to superhuman levels by the Sixth Sense, a paralyzed man in an oxygen-supply dome who speaks to them through the robot. He explains if they carry out a job for them they'll receive money to pay off their debts. And as an example of what happens to anyone who tries to deviate from his plans, he opens a trapdoor and dumps the captive Shining Knight in the river. The time-displaced hero manages to roll next to his enchanted sword and severs his bonds. He climbs back onto land and relays what he learned to the rest of the Soldiers, who promptly split up to to thwart the numerous crimes.
