When Alan finally returns home he discovers that his own house was robbed. Tired and angry Alan wills his power ring to eliminate all evil on Earth. As a result everyone on the planet disappears including him.
On Earth-1, Hal Jordan returns to Earth after a space mission. He is shocked to find the entire population of Earth-2 in suspended animation in the desert of Utah. Hal revives Alan and learns what happened. The Green Lanterns then return the people to Earth-2. Alan also discovers the his co-worker Johnny Halliday is the boss behind the crime wave. Alan defeats Halliday and stops him from broadcasting messages to his gang via the radio station.
