Synopsis:
Hal visits his brother Jim and learns that Jim's wife Sue still believes that her husband is Green Lantern. Jim wore a Green Lantern costume to amuse their new baby boy Howard, and Sue mistook it for a real Green Lantern uniform.
Hal agrees to babysit his new nephew while Jim and Sue go out. Later, Jim calls to check on Howard, whom Hal has been amusing as Green Lantern. During the call, Jim witnesses a robbery and tries to intercede. He is knocked out while the crooks escape.
Hal hears about the trouble over the phone and comes to the rescue as Green Lantern. He easily catches the crooks, who quickly surrender. The gang boss, Rhino, claims that he could beat GL if not for the power ring. Green Lantern then removes his ring and beats Rhino in a fist fight.
When Hal sees his brother Jim later, Jim has a black eye from his own fight with the crooks. Sue believes the black eye is further proof that her husband is GL.
