Criminal Daffy Dagan and his “Siren Gang” terrorize a local town using a deafening siren to paralyze citizens during robberies. Hearing the commotion, the teenager Robby Reed uses his mystical H-Dial to transform into a new superhero named Quake-Master. Quake-Master uses localized vibration waves to fly and stop the crooks.
