Synopsis:
While testing his new Transmat transporter on himself, Bruce
transforms into the Hulk in mid-transportation. This
leaves Betty to think that the Hulk interfered with
the process somehow, causing Bruce to be trapped in the
transport buffer. So it becomes an all-out manhunt for
the Hulk, first led by Major Talbot, and then by Betty
herself! Rick knows that Bruce isn't really trapped and
goes out to help him. Betty is able to capture the Hulk
using a high-tech fighter plane. She brings him back to
the Transmat, hoping to reverse the process, not knowing
that doing so might disintegrate the Hulk and Bruce. The
Hulk breaks free from Betty's exo-field with the help of
Major Talbot's bumbling. Rick is able to reprogram the
Transmat the way Bruce showed him before, and Bruce seemingly
replaces the Hulk during transportation, leaving his secret
identity intact.

Analysis:
Yet another attempt to test Bruce's secret identity to its
limit. They incorporated Star Trek transporter technology
quite well, but if Bruce put a little more thought into it,
he could have used it to filter off the gamma radiation in
his body in mid-transportation. But that would mean the end
of the Hulk...and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

The Antagonist:
Betty Ross - That's right! The one who gives the Hulk the most
trouble in this episode is none other than the love of Bruce's
life. When she finds out that the Hulk is the key to bringing
back Bruce, she does everything she can in order to capture him.

The Incredible Bruce Banner:
Bruce takes a cue from Captain America and throws a carnival
game target like a frisbee in order to disable Major Talbot's
gamma ray detector.
