Plot summary
In a secret scientific laboratory, a revolutionary device is being developed: it will allow of detecting and teletransporting minerals or weapons of an an opposing army. Unfortunately it's the Cobra that appears when the device is turned on. Using the power of the machine, he succeeded in duplicating, in blocks of ice, clones of Mandrake, Lothar and Narda, his enemies. However the real Mandrake manages to enter the secret base; there Lothar and him will succeed in fighting the Cobra who tried to transform into an agressive snake. Finally Professor Kolth restarts his initial device and sends the Cobra back to the Himalayas, a rather bad outcome since the "Genius of Evil" will remain free and will be able to continue his misdeeds.
