Synopsis:
A gang of crooks led by the Octopus create a carnival of crime designed to rob the wealthy patrons. Kent Nelson and Inza attend the carnival, and Kent recognizes the workers as crooks. He goes into action as Dr. Fate to stop them. The crooks nab Inza, but he rescues her.

Fate then tracks down the Octopus. Forewarned by the other gang members, the Octopus defeats Dr. Fate and traps him in a garage to die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Fate escapes by breathing the air from the car tires. He then apprehends the Octopus and the rest of the gang.
