'The Return of Bigfoot' (Part 1) (Story Code '45124') by Kenneth Johnson

Members of the alien race that Steve Austin encountered in Northern California returned once more. They send their Bigfoot android to steal supplies of gold and precious jewels from the nation’s strongholds, which they plan to use to finance the construction of devices that will allow them to take over the Earth. When the authorities investigate the thefts they determine that only a bionic man would have the strength to carry them out, and it is not long before Steve is placed under house arrest. However, he manages to use his extraordinary abilities to escape, and sets off to prove his innocence by tracking down the aliens…
