The Hag's gang uses a blackout to enter the stock exchange to fake a second market crash so that she can buy up stock cheap. They use clothes treated with chemicals to deal with the Torch and a gas that makes Torch's and Toro's flames go out. Toro breaks his arm in the fall so Torch takes him to the hospital and the doctor tells him that Toro needs a "flame transfusion." After Toro's flame has been strengthened, the doctor tells Torch that Toro's flame will never be as strong as his. Torch and Toro corner the Hag, and when she tries to escape them with detonating gas, the explosion kills her.
