An angry Thor
rampages through Blake’s office, upset that his nurse Jane Foster (whom
he loves) has left him for another doctor, Dr Bruce Andrews. Suddenly
he is summoned to Asgard by his father Odin who orders him to abandon
his feelings for the mortal nurse, only to have Thor leave in anger.
Back on earth, in his human form as Blake, he decides go to India where
he can forget Jane.
In India, an old friend Professor Shecktor is working on a cure
for snake bites. His assistant, Klaus Vorhees, decides to kill the
professor and steal his discoveries. His plans to allow a cobra to bite
them both, but only give himself the cure.
Blake hears about Shecktor’s injure and, as Thor, rushes to his
side. Too late to save the Professor, he learns that the snake which
bite them was radioactive, and Klaus has been transformed into a human
cobra. Creating a typhoon with his hammer, Thor carries himself back to
the USA following the Cobra.
The Cobra has invaded a factory, and is trying to force the
owners to mass produce his cobra serum. Thor arrives and they battle.
The Cobra manages to escape the factory and breaks into Dr Andrews
office. Andrews is afraid and refuses to stand up to the villain.
After calling him a coward, Jane signals Thor. The Cobra seizes her and
uses her as a hostage against Thor so he can escape out an office
window.
As the Cobra flees, Thor uses his hammer to fly around the
building and ambush the Cobra on the other side. The Cobra drops Jane,
and as Thor rushes to her rescue, the Cobra makes his escape.
Returning to Dr Andrews office, Jane immediately resigns and goes
back to Dr Blake, who welcomes her back as his nurse. While the Cobra
is already plotting new evil deeds.

Synopsis
This is the story of how Heimdall came to be the guardian of Bifrost the rainbow bridge. Odin
holds a sort of try-out, summoning Heimdall and two other worthy
candidates. Agnar the fierce, is the first, and offers him self as
having the mightiest chest, the strongest lungs, and that none but he
have the power to sound the horn warning, Gjallahorn,
as he demonstrates this ability, the “roar reaches to infinity”. The
second is Gotron the Agile, who claims that his deeds speak for
themselves, and that he was nimble enough to defeat seven frost giants
at once, when they attacked Asgard “only last year”.
The last is Heimdall
The Faithful, who shows that he has other useful abilities other than
strength “that is a match for any”. He proves this by stepping out into
Odin’s garden and, by placing his ear on the grass, hears the tinniest
plant growing in the heart of a place known as the “Hidden Hills”, which
was scorched by the fiery breath of a dragon. After Odin had
dispatched his gardener to verify the tiny new plant just blossoming
into life, Heimdall proved himself further. He said that his eyesight
is so keen that he “can see across time as well as space!!” He
then informs Odin of a “savage band of Storm Giants” marching towards
the rainbow bridge, still two days away. Odin then dispatched a
heavily-armed war party to meet Storm Giants. The war party returned in
days, with the King of the Storm Giants as prisoner. These
demonstrations of abilities and noble character earned him the position
of “Guardian of the Rainbow Bridge – – FOREVER!”

Synopsis
The Storm Giant Brimer complains to his queen Nedra that he can not
invade Asgard because of the ever-vigilant Heimdall who guards their
Rainbow Bridge. So Nedra summons a Vanna, an invisible, super fast air
sprite that she sends to spy on Asgard and disgrace Heimdall.
Being invisible, the creature wisp past Heimdall, who even
through he can not see or hear it, still senses something and swings
towards the creature, missing.
The Vanna spies out Asgard going even into Odin’s Royal Chamber.
Suddenly, Odin reaches out and capture the sprite. Heimdall is
summoned to Odin’s chamber, where the guardian apologizes for failing in
his duty. But rather then punish Heimdall, Odin praises him. He was so
loyal that he sensed the Vanna and reported it even though it made him
look foolish to report “nothing”. He is returned to his post with Odin’s
assurance that he is second only to Thor in Odin’s heart.
