Goldface arranged for Green Lantern to be framed for a crime that sends him to prison, where Goldface also has substituted his own men for prison guards. These new "guards" allow Black Hand and the inmates to attack Green Lantern, who just barely escapes with the help of Tom Kalmaku back at his home. Meanwhile, Congressman Bloch has faked evidence in a hearing on Ferris Aircraft's contracts.
