Synopsis:
When Aquaman scoffs at the abilities of a self-proclaimed sorcerer, he finds himself the target of voodoo magic. The sorcerer, Jason Deeter, uses a doll to control Aquaman and make him look foolish. Crooks approach Deeter and force him to command Aquaman into a crime. The sorcerer complies, but only to trap the crooks. Deeter is really a police officer. His sorcery was a hoax arranged with Aquaman's help to locate and apprehend the gang.
