Synopsis:
Using telepathy, Zor commands a scientist to free him from a paralysis-ray. Once free, the evil spirit murders Police Sergeant Dexter and frames Jim Corrigan.

Corrigan battle Zor as the Spectre, but Zor is more powerful. The villain then enlists the aid of murderer, Pedro Gonzalez. Gonzalez kidnaps Clarice Winston and prepares to murder her.

Spectre is prevented from interfering by an invisible wall created by Zor. The Voice tells Spectre that evil is vulnerable to the mystic ectobane tree. Spectre builds a coffin of ectobane and places Zor inside. He then rescues Clarice and transforms Gonzalez into a tree. Zor is then banished to the depths of the universe.
