Synopsis:
While waiting for the Zeta-Beam to return him to Rann, Adam Strange explores a jungle cave and unearths six strange coins. He brings three of the coins to Rann, giving them to Alanna as a gift. She leaves the coins in the sun which causes the strange symbols on the coins to grow to tremendous size. The objects then menace the people of Rann. Adam and Alanna protect the people and defeat the menaces by removing them from the sunlight. Adam then returns to Earth where one of the other coins has been activated. He triumphs over this menace too, saving a tribe of jungle natives.
