Synopsis:
Zatara performs his stage act using a magic lantern as a prop. The lantern has no real power, but two crooks steal it anyway. One of the crooks accidentally stumbles upon magic words that activate real magic from the lamp. Using this magic he begins a series of crimes.
Zatara learns of the crimes and investigates. When he confronts the crooks, he finds that the lamp's magic is as powerful as his own. To defeat the crooks, Zatara switches the magic lamp with a phony. He then destroys the magic lamp to prevent anyone from using it again.
