Synopsis:
Jim Corrigan attends the wedding of Tom Grant and Barbara Newsome. Tom does not show up for the wedding, so Jim looks for him as the Spectre. However, a rare cosmic event dampens the Spectre's powers. Without his full power, the Ghostly Guardian cannot locate Tom, so he assumes Tom's appearance at the wedding. A gunman then kidnaps him and takes him to the location where the real Tom is still being held. The Spectre rescues the groom, but the delay causes the bride to call off the wedding.

The Spectre then plays matchmaker and gets the couple to reconcile. The wedding is rescheduled, but this time Barbara does not show up. The Spectre learns that she receives a letter threatening Tom if she married him. The Spectre offers his protection, and the wedding resumes. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the best man Allen Tracy tries to kill Tom. The Spectre saves the groom's life and exposes Tracy who want Barbara for himself.
