Comments:
Doctor Fate claims that he was alive during the year 1698. Given later stories establishing the facts of Kent Nelson's origin, Fate must be referring to Nabu having been alive, not his current human body.

This story was not originally titled.

Synopsis:
Inza attends a house party hosted by John Jerome. When her host takes ill suddenly, Inza suspects black magic and summons Doctor Fate. When the mage arrives on the scene, Inza has been turned to stone by an evil sorcerer. Fate restores life to Inza and removes the spell from Jerome. He then defeats the sorcerer, Haldane, who hoped to steal a hidden treasure in Jerome's home of which the owner had no knowledge.
