The Black Fox and Black Cat plan a heist but first need to pick up a magically-powered ‘merlin’ to help them as they plan to rob… Doctor Strange! They pick up the nearly incoherent Xander, who manages to open Strange’s front door. Now jobless, Sonny is offered work by Odessa Drake. In Strange’s mansion, Felicia, Dr. Korpse, Bruno and Xander make it past all the obstacles to the trophy room, where Felicia takes the original deed to Manhattan. They lose track of Xander, who grabs his long-lost Star-Stone, which instantly transforms him into the powerful and dangerous Xander the Merciless!
