The first two pages relate how in 1943 Dr. Weir told an African witch doctor how to combat malaria and in gratitude was given the Purple Claw. The main story tells how Dr. Gool uses a radioactive fluid to raise the dead, who obey him. He tells Dr. Weir of his evil plan to conquer the world. The undead, and Dr. Gool, are easily defeated by the Purple Claw.
