Synopsis:
Deadman has come to the Colby Circus in the body of Jack Trayner. Colby and the performers are all spirits brought to life by the indian deity Brazia. A few of the performers including Reptilina the snake woman want to help Deadman break free of Brazia, so they can find eternal rest.

First Deadman, must rescue Jack's wife Connie from the Goat-Faced Boy. Once Connie is safe, Deadman meets with his love, Ann. He then confronts Colby, whom he defeats with the help of some of the circus performers. Lastly Deadman goes after Brazia. Ann helps him defeat the deity. This breaks the spell which has kept the circus in existence. Before she herself leaves the Earthly plane, she restores the mind of Jack Trayner. Deadman is heart-broken that Ann has left him alone.
