The new England-France Channel Bridge is attacked by a group of whales under the influence of synthesised whale sounds produced by Doc Terror's new recruit Madame Arpeggio. After preventing the whales from doing any more damage to the bridge, Max consults the whale Whistler, who is equipped with an electronic voice box. He discovers that a giant white whale is responsible for influencing the other whales into attacking the bridge. The white whale is in fact Doc Terror's giant sea-faring android. Max is captured by Terror and learns that he intends to use a whale army to attack Venice, currently hosting a symposium of the Council of World Scientists. Science Lesson: Whales by Max.
