The stories

“The Attack of the Lepidop-Terror, Part 1: The Cocoon Bursts”

Samson clashes with the strong man of an African-American tribe from Har-Lem, but voracious giant moths interrupt their conflict.

“The Attack of the Lepidop-Terror, Part 2: Mindor Baits a Trap”

The Samson and Har-Lem groups join forces against the moths, but Weyum remains hostile.

“The Attack of the Lepidop-Terror, Part 3: The Lights That Failed”

As Samson and Weyum duke it out in "a Joe Louis" match, the moths attack. Mindor jury-rigs ancient batteries to turn on the lights of Yankee Stadium and draw the moths to where they can be killed. Between the lights and the fight Samson is temporarily blinded, but together the N'Yarkers defeat the giant moths.
