Green Arrow and Speedy encounter Mr. Twitter, who has a collection of gems which are said to bestow curses upon the owner. The newly-acquired Hiputa Ruby is stolen while Oliver and Roy are visiting the museum, but the curse comes into play and the thief's gyrocopter crashes. Many others fall victim, but Green Arrow spots an imperfection in the center of the gem. He splits it in half with a well-placed arrow, and a yellow gas escapes. Queen Hiputa had rigged the ruby to release a small portion of gas when warmed, as by the heat from a hand.
