Synopsis:
Jim Corrigan's detective agency becomes flooded with calls for supernatural investigations following the publication of a newspaper article about his battle with Kranik. The mysterious Mr. Zoran offers to partner with Corrigan.

Just as the group has gathered for the first time, the Spectre emerges to battle Kranik. The serial killer was risen from the dead and is now hunted Corrigan. The Spectre battles the killer and ultimately turns him into a stone gargoyle attached to the side of the building. Jim then accepts Zoran's offer. He and the others form Cryptica Crimes, Limited, an agency specializing in supernatural investigation.
