Synopsis for "The Incredible Hulk"

The Fantastic Four are visited by General Ross, who asks the FF for help in capturing the Hulk, who he believes is responsible for sabataging his New Mexico base. Traveling there, the FF are begin their search for the Hulk even though Bruce Banner and Rick Jones believe the damage is being caused by someone else calling himself the "Wrecker".
When Banner becomes aware of another attack planned by the Wrecker, he uses his Gamma-Ray machine to turn himself into the Hulk once more and searches the underground tunnels under the base to find the Wrecker. Instead he finds the Fantastic Four and gets into a battle with the Thing. As the battle reaches it's climax, the two titans find the real sabatour, the Wrecker in a giant robot that is causing all the destruction. With the FF dealing with Karl Kort, the pilot of the Wrecker robot, the Hulk manages to escape.
After Kort is turned over to the military authorities, the FF are thanked by the base and Bruce Banner, and depart for home. Watching them leave, the Hulk has a feeling he will meet the FF again.
