Flash nabs him, but when he touches the jacket, something happens. A foreign Ranee arrives in the U.S. wearing a necklace made of one piece of flawless ivory, and Rocky is on hand to swipe it, using a cosmic powered ring. GL touches the ring, however, and fades away. Rocky's gang then confronts Dr. Egri, who has imprisoned the JSA members, and who tells Rocky they were used as pawns and he is going to destroy them. Black Canary saves the day.
