When Army soldiers are finishing up a day of maneuvers in the Arizona desert, they find themselves observing a meteor shower. Some of the meteors turn into violent creatures whom the Army attempts to destroy. It is quickly evident that the creatures are incredibly strong and immune to gunfire. General Joyce contacts Spurs Jackson to investigate. Hank Roper says “You won’t have to look far, Spurs! All blazes is busting loose on Calumet Hill!” From a hilltop, one of the Meteor Men drops a rock on Spurs’ Jeep, which narrowly misses them. Spurs surmises the creatures must be made of high metallic content, and come from a planet with extreme gravity, like Jupiter, explaining their prodigious strength. General Joyce orders planes to bomb an old Spanish fort the Meteor Men are occupying. Bombs, missiles, and bullets have no effect on the creatures. The General orders a newly developed gun be deployed. While this manages to blast the creatures apart, they re-form as smaller Rock Men. Spurs notices the powerful electro-magnets the military is using to move steel girders, and suggests trying them on the Meteor Men. The soldiers mount the tractors and chase down the rock creatures. Soon the magnets have captured all the Meteor Men. The general thinks the Meteor Men, all in a pile and magnetically stuck to one another, should be melted down and made into girders for their new hanger, but says since they were technically invaders, it was up to the government to decide their fate.
