In the Amazon, Johnny Littlejohn is maimed by a robot. In New York, Doc Savage visits his father's grave and orders the body exhumed. In Wildwood Cemetary, Dolan steers The Spirit to a midnight rendezvous. Doc Savage finds his father's body replaced with sacks of gold dust printed with red hands. In NY, John Sunlight plots. Back in the Amazon, Anton Colossi orders a village wiped out for harboring Johnny, who's been spirited away by Rima. And The Spirit runs smack into the Blackhawks!
