Synopsis:
Bruce Gordon attempts to avoid his own transformation into Eclipso by hiding underwater during an eclipse. The attempt fails and Bruce because Eclipso, then he escapes from Professor Bennett. Bennett finds him returned to his Bruce Gordon form after the flash of light from a live wire causes Eclipso to become dormant.

Bruce and Bennett try to escape another transformation by traveling into space. However, Eclipso had merely covered his face with makeup to fool Bennett. He never changed back from the encounter with the live wire. Eclipso then rigs their ship to intersect a cone of black light which will allow him to remain evil permanently. The light from a passing comet causes Eclipso to revert to Bruce in time to divert the craft away from the black light and return to Earth.
