Synopsis:
While on a stakeout, John Jones spots small-time crook Roy Roggins steal the famed Wand of Wodessa. The wand doesn’t work, but when the gang of Argus Weede arrives to take the rod from Roy, John uses his powers to fake the powers of the wand.

J’onn trails the gang to Argus, but the gang leader activates the wand for real using a special element. The wand allows him to escape and commit several robberies. It even affects J’onn. J’onn trails the gang back to their hide-out. He turns invisible and takes possession of the wand. Finally, J’onn destroys the rod and takes Argus to jail.
