Larry Scott is trying to prove the innocence of his father, who has been wrongly convicted and faces the chair. Unfortunately, Larry is too late, and his father is executed. Naturally, Larry is more than a little peeved by this, and he swears and oath to "make time work against criminals instead of the innocent." So he dons a mask and a hood, and using his fists and a big scythe, fights crime and evil.

Jack Castle, a young doctor, is called in by the police to help investigate a case involving a kind of zombie. He gets captured by another zombie and is brought to the zombie's master, an enormous (20' tall) mad scientist, who is using a special ray to make people into "living corpses." The ray doesn't work on Jack (because he knows hypnosis and refuses to submit to the ray), and when the doctor increases the ray's power the ray is destroyed, irradiating Jack Castle and giving him various powers. He then puts on a fiery mask and costume and fights crime. The Fiery Mask has super strength, super-breath, can do Hulk-jumps, his body gives off intense heat, he can erect a heat force-field, and he can "transmit protective powers via touch," granting his force-field to someone else.

He goes out swimming and discovers the underwater kingdom of "Neptunia," which he eventually becomes the ruler of. After his first adventure he no longer needs any equipment to breath underwater.

Later Fin found out the cutlass also slowed his aging.
