Synopsis:
Hawkman learns that his old friend Dick Blendon is dead. When he consoles Dick's father, he meets Una Cathay, a scientist friend of Dick's. Hawkman is suspicious of Una. When he discovers that Dick's body is missing he investigates.

Hawkman discovers that Una has revived Dick and is keeping him prisoner with several other scientists. She hopes to learn the secret of eternal life from her captive.

Hawkman narrowly avoids being killed by Una when she puts a voodoo hex on him. He returns to her lab and rescues Dick, who was never really dead. He then pursues Una and her accomplice, but both of them die while fleeing.
