SYNOPSIS
Andrea demonstrates a device called a "circle guard" which produces a force field that repels all objects. Bill Cody sees this and, still angered by not winning the school's science contest and the money it would have gotten him to buy a car, steals the device. Bill then contacts a local gangster named Bill Evans. Mr. Evans agrees to pay for the device but only after Bill uses it to help his men steal from the bank after hours.

Meanwhile Andrea, Cindy, Rick, and Dr. Barnes have discovered the device is not only missing, but has a dangerous radioactive leak. When Andrea finds out that Bill went to Mr. Evans' house, she follows but is held hostage upon her arrival by Jacko, Evans' henchman. With the help of Tut, Andrea escapes.

Fearing she will go to the police, Mr. Evans flees with Jacko, and Bill, but Isis is in pursuit. Isis commands the trees of the forest to trap the two men, as Bill lies on the ground with an injured ankle.

Mr. Evans then tells Bill to use the force field on Isis, who warns Bill that if he does, there is no turning back. Bill decides not to use the force field but to instead surrender, take his punishment and then buy a car the honest way. Bill also wonders if the device could have really stopped Isis, so she tells him to turn it on, and then, she gracefully walks through the force field and gently shuts it off.
