Synopsis:
Green Lantern and Charley Vicker join the fight against several cosmic criminals led by Al Magone. GL battles Ahsez, a foe who has already killed three members of the Green Lantern Corps. Though temporarily blinded by a blow to the head, GL is able to prevail against his opponent.

Charley battles a different opponent. His inexperience nearly causes him to lose the battle until his foe boasts of killing another Earthman. Charley realizes that this alien killed his brother. Emotion gives Charley new strength, and he triumphs over his brother's killer.

Hal and Charley then join Tomar-Re, who has won his own battle, to track down the source of the mini-nucelo energy which is counteracting their power rings. They locate Al Magone, the Earthman responsible for releasing the criminals. Hal battles Magone's robot bodyguard Dalbo. When he is finally victorious, Hal discovers that the robot was the power source. Hal's victory allows the other GL's to defeat their opponents and end the battle.

Back on Oa, the Guardians hold a ceremony to honor the fallen Green Lanterns. They advise the others to take on more responsibility until replacements can be found. Charley Vicker is allowed to keep the power ring given to him. He is then assigned to a nearby space sector as a new Green Lantern.
