Synopsis
The Wasp and Jim are monitoring an appearance of strange creatures coming out of a nauseating mist in the former silver-rich town of Elvino. Following a lead, they discover that a group of Nazis are behind the appearance of the mysterious creatures from the mist, covering up the fact that a new vein of rich silver nitrate has been found. And they want to keep people away from Elvino so that they can have these deposits for themselves.
