Green Lantern and Doiby work to stop a drug counterfeiting ring directed by Mitch Hogan forcing legitimate pharmacies to carry their wares. But they have problems making the charges stick when Hogan intimidates the star witness and then pulls a gun on the judge until Doiby stumbles into court long enough to distract Hogan so GL can knock him cold.
