Possessing a silver belt buckle as his only clue, the Hawk visits Martini, a famous jeweler who is taken aback when he sees the buckle, who tells Hawk that he may learn more about it from the person he sold it to who lives at the old Kimball country home. When Hawk arrives, he is knocked out, but later captures them. Then he visits the Kimball house and talks to the housekeeper, who was a witness to the murder of Tim Kimball. Before Hawkman heads back to JSA HQ, she tells him that she doesn't know what happened to the District Attorney in the case, who mysteriously disappeared after the trial.
