Synopsis:
Eclipso steals the Circlet of Circe from playboy Whitney Hargrave. When combined with the lost Gorgas Ring, Eclipso gains the power to predict the future. Both Bruce Gordon and Hargrave's friend Prince Ra-Man track Eclipso, but the villain's new power proves to be trouble for them.

Eclipso then blackmails a city with the threat of unleashing pterodactyls. Ra-Man realizes that Eclipso also possesses the power to influence the future with his newly acquired occult objects.

Ra-Man defeats the pterodactyls, so Eclipso unleashes a giant solar-powered robot. Ra-Man can't stop the robot, so he forces Eclipso to help him by putting Bruce Gordon in the robot's path. Eclipso uses his new powers to destroy the robot with a meteor. A burst of light is created in the explosion which banishes Eclipso back into Bruce Gordon's body.
