Synopsis:
Cliffland is the victim of a series of robberies which police attribute to the Spectre. Spiritualist Deeja Kathoon offers to summon and capture the Spectre for the police. He succeeds in summoning Jim Corrigan's astral self, but ordinary methods can not contain him. Spectre then follows Kathoon, learning that he is responsible for the robberies.

Spectre learns that Kathoon commands spirits to commit his robberies. He goes undercover, posing as a spirit to gain more information. Kathoon sees through the Spectre's disguise and is able to take control of the Ghostly Guardian.

Kathoon orders Spectre to destroy a hospital. Spectre resists and with the Ring of Life finally breaks the sorcerer's spell. Spectre then chases Kathoon across dimension, ending his reign of evil and freeing the spirits.
