Synopsis:
Captain Comet discovers a new planet upon which the population is controlled by Esklon, a dictator with mental powers. Esklon challenges Captain Comet forcing him to make a choice between two doors. If he chooses the wrong one he will die, if he chooses correctly he will live.

Behind the doors are a girl and a Tiger-Man. Captain Comet opens the door with the Tiger-Man and is attacked. During the fight, Esklon shoots the Tiger-Man. Esklon then explains that the Tiger-Man was the real dictator, and that he was only a puppet. The fight with Captain Comet allowed Esklon to break the Tiger-Man's influence and kill his master.

After a bomb is deactivated from the second door, the girl inside is released. She is Rana, Esklon's sister who returns to Earth with Captain Comet.
