In her hidden lair in the Rockies, the "most brilliant, most dangerous woman on Earth," Medula, is informed by her two lieutenants that the computerized Will Booster is ready to be tested. Elevating a parabolic dish through an opening in the mountain, they fire a beam at Elmwood City. Women throughout the town are possessed by Medulla's will, with their eyes developing a white glow as they repeat their mantra, "We are with you, Medulla..." in a monotone. Turning their gaze on the men, they make them disappear.
