It was perhaps natural that Don Tay should hate civilization. After all, were not his ancestors simple, hard-working peons, captured and exploited by the cruel conquistadors? Don Tay had sworn his revenge...and now was ready to make civilization pay for its greed with the help of Ferno, a robot capable of generating unbearable heat. Ferno could melt the fortress-like walls of the Institute of Science, could sear through steel vaults and seize secret scientific data, could ignite a dormant volcano and send molten lava plunging toward the city below. Stopping Ferno would become a Herculean task for Astro Boy, who was faced with the need to battle the robot, throttle the volcano, save the city - and Don Tay - at the same time! Powerful as he is, not even Astro Boy could have accomplished the impossible without the help of resourceful Doctor Elefun and an ingenious freezing device.
