Dr. Fate is on his way to see Arturo Carasa, before the threat to take his voice away succeeds. As they talk, gas suddenly is pumped into the room and Fate grabs the man and heads out the window to the roof where both find that they have lost their voices! Talking in writing, Fate tells Carasa that he must go on as planned, hoping to smoke out the rats involved. Carasa "sings" as Doctor Fate plays a record, and it does smoke out the men involved, whom Dr. Fate puts a wrap on. Telling Carasa that his voice will come back soon, he drops the thugs off in jail and continues to track down Hawkman.
