Synopsis:
Jim Corrigan and the Spectre return to Madame Xanadu's parlor where they discover that the mystic has been magically imprisoned. Kim Liang is also trapped inside a crystal with the demon, Fingers. The Spectre seeks out a third mystic artifact to help break the spell.

The artifact, an ornate censer, comes into the possession of a blind woman named Natalie. The censer restores her sight and gives her a vision of a man. She locates a man, and they share a kiss. Natalie then loses her sight again. She runs off and is tempted to use the censer again.

When she uses the artifact a second time, Natalie receives another vision. She goes after the man again, but does not stay to see the rest of the vision in which the man tries to kill her. The Spectre arrives and sees the conclusion of the vision in the censer smoke. He alters it which allows him to save Natalie and punish the man who has killed six other women.

When the Spectre returns to retrieve the censer, he is too late. The Cult of the Blood Red Moon has taken it. This leaves Madame Xanadu and Kim Liang in peril.
