Midnight tumbles to his death from a battle with Cyclops Ceylon, is declined entrance to heaven, and asks to be sent to Hell so he can fight the Devil himself, only to find out the Mrs. is in charge, who subjects him to unspeakable tortures. Meanwhile, a strange Professor bargains with Doc Wackey, and offers to exchange his life for Midnight's. The gambit works, and Midnight leaves Hell just as he'd convinced its inmates to revolt (and prevent further Nazi evils in the "waking world").
