Synopsis:
Using a special camera and voodoo magic, Cuthbert Cain steals the souls of men, giving him power over their wills. Using a photo of Woodley Allen, Cain keeps the FBI from involving itself in his crimes.

Starman is asked to help, and he arrives to prevent Cain from robbing a bank. Cain takes Starman’s picture apparently putting the hero under his control. Starman merely feigns submission as the gravity rod cancelled the effect of the camera. He is taken back to Cain’s hideout where he then forces the man to free his captives. Cain refuses, trying to use the camera on Starman after dropping his rod. Starman turns the camera on Cain, which breaks the spell and causes Cain to disappear.
