Synopsis
The Super Friends search for a mysterious blue jet that is emitting a blue beam that is destroying gold and creating other disasters, like damaging steel girders at a construction site, cement blocks at the dam, phone cables, and the black board in Marvin's school classroom. The pilots of the blue jet are Hank and Ben, two scientists who are destroying gold, with the belief that gold is the root of all evil. They feel they are doing the world a favor by destroying the gold, and trying to turn it into other useful minerals. The Super Friends track the blue jet with the GETTI graph at the Seismological Bureau, and Wendy and Marvin wind up aboard the blue jet trying to convince Hank and Ben, that what they are doing is wrong.
