Because he needs money to generate atomic energy, Victor allows a TV crew to shoot a documentary about his grandfather. When they arrive at his German castle, Victor collects rent from them and then uses the money to buy an atomic reactor, which he employs to kill off crewmembers for spare parts for his creature. But, just like in the case of his grandfather, tragedy ensues.

By story's end, Joe has romanced Mamie (Quentin Dean) and even manages to borrow a rodeo bull, win a big stake, and invest in a new herd.
