Eclipso is captured by the police after being split from Bruce Gordon's body. The villain is brought to trial where the prosecution summons Bruce as its chief witness.

Authorities are baffled by Eclipso's disappearance, but they recapture him when Bruce is transformed again by an artificial eclipse. This time Eclipso's gang break the villain out of prison. Professor Bennett uses a light blast to change Eclipso back into Bruce. Bruce then uses Eclipso's duplicator machine to assume the powers and appearance of his evil self. He defeats the gang, but know that Eclipso is still trapped inside of him.
