Long to short, the Doc returns to his New York office (from his Arctic hideaway, cunningly having the same name as that of Superman, only this predates the latters - seriously, it was called the Fortress of Solitude in the 1930s books), having felt that something was wrong. It transpires that his father has died and that a package of papers has been left for the Doc.

It transpires that his father has died and that a package of papers has been left for the Doc.


Just as the Doc is about to go through his father's papers, someone tries to kill him. Clearly, the assassin fails. The Doc then gathers his confederates, and they depart for an adventure in South America. Unsurprisingly, there then follows the obligatory hunt for trust, justice and oodles of treasure, and the good guys prevail.
