Synopsis:
While catching the Zeta Beam that will return him to Rann, Adam Strange rescues a dog, Chunky, from an avalanche. Adam arrives with the dog on Rann and finds that Alanna has been turned into a puddle of water along with the other Ranagarans.

A race known as the Kirri are responsible for Alanna’s condition, using an Aqua-Ray weapon. They wish to replace the humans as the dominant species on Rann. They liquify Adam as well and take him to the planet’s polar region where they restore his body, but he is frozen in ice with the other humans, including Alanna.

Chunky, having followed the Kirri, manages to free Adam from his ice prison. Adam then constructs a ice duplicate of himself to distract the Kirri, while he gains control of the Aqua-Ray. He liquifies the Kirri and frees the Ranagarans, before he and Chunky are returned to Earth by the Zeta Beam.
