Synopsis:

Mr. Rasputin, descendant of the original, amasses magical & scientific knowledge as part of his plan to rule the world. Strange senses evil in the area, and that someone has used the "Forbidden Ritual of Ikonn". He confronts Rasputin, who, no match for his magic, resorts to non-magical means: he pulls a gun and shoots Strange! Recovering at a nearby hospital, Strange informs the police about Rasputin, but when they can find no trace of him, Strange realizes the villain may be at his own sanctum! As Strange investigates, a hit-man Rasputin hired enters the hospital to finish the job. Following a tense battle, Strange emerges victorious, and hypnotizes Rasputin to forget all he knows of magic, and for both he & his henchman to confess all their crimes to the police.
