Synopsis

Tracy relates how Nazi spies kidnapped Roloc Bard for his Xylon bomb formula. By threatening Frieda Smith (actually Pruneface's confederate), Pruneface forces Bard to make five bombs. Junior Tracy frees Bard and four of the bombs are found and defused. Decades later Pruneface, long presumed dead, is awakened from cryogenic freezing. Tracy, Trailer, and Wichel find Frieda still tending the last bomb in Washington, D.C., defuse it, and lead her away in tears, heartbroken that Pruneface had never issued her the final order to blow up the capital. In the now-empty house, the telephone rings.
