Synopsis:
While rescuing some trapped people from a burning building, Green Lantern is caught in an explosion. His power ring protects him from serious injury, but it is damaged in the blast. The ring begins to cause Hal to absorb the emotions of the people around him. He acts like a criminal around crooks; he is terrified when a mob panic; and he is unusually jovial when a crowd cheers him.

The Guardians witness Hal's behavior. They don't know about the power ring's malfunction, so they believe he needs a vacation. They take away his ring and order Hal to relax. However, trouble soon finds Hal in the form of an angry bear. Without his ring, Hal is forced to take on the bear with only his hands and wits to save Eve Doremus and her kid brother.

The Guardians soon discover their mistake when their examination reveals the damage to Hal's ring. They return the ring to Hal just in time to aid him in a struggle with a gang of burglars attempting to rob the Doremus home. The Guardians help Hal protect his secret identity from Eve and apologize for their error.
