A fraudster named Novel claims to have developed a metal that resists the effects of the atom bomb.

Two patrolmen sent to bring him back are fended off by Max, as the boy's convinced him they're gunmen *disguised* as cops. He brings the boy, Harley Cooper, back to Sargon, who magically flies them to the mean guardian Harley fled from. This uncle wants the best for Harley, but he does have a bit of a temper, so Sargon concocts a little magic to solve Harley's problem of telling fibs, and his uncle's temper. Harley's magically compelled to admit it the next time he tells a lie, and when his uncle threatens to beat him, a mirror flies into his face and shows the man his frightening visage.
