The Bennett kids and Prof. Sharp meet up with Hokey McCoy, an old time con artist and friend of Prof. Sharp. Afterwards, the Bionic Six are sent to investigate the emergence of a strange green tar that has erupted from a mining site. Scarab also shows an interest in the tar (and the possible Burtonium underneath), and assaults the mining site. Scarab captures the tar pit, and sets up an anti-bionic field. Sharp calls upon Hokey's skills to con Scarab into giving up the site.
