Synopsis:
Both Paul Kirk and Dan Richards are brought to the secret lair of the Manhunters. The Grandmaster tells them that they must join forces to stop a new menace, Green Lantern. The Manhunters then visit the Perisphere to recruit the Young All-Stars in their mission. They bring Doiby Dickles with them and show the All-Stars evidence that Green Lantern released several Japanese P.O.W.s.
Using coordinates supplied by Doiby, who is actually a Manhunter robot, the All-Stars split into two teams to find Green Lantern. The first team including Dan Richards, Flying Fox, Dyna-Mite, and Tsunami find Green Lantern in the Aleutians. He is using his power ring to frighten villagers. A fight ensues. Tsunami and Dan are knocked out. Flying Fox uses wood to stun GL. When he tries to remove the power ring, an energy blast knocks him out. As Green Lantern is recovering, he seems to regain his senses. Then he is overcome by evil compulsions and flies away.
