In the 1947 tale "The Apartment of Dr. Phobia," Plastic Man and his partner Woozy help a newly married couple, George and Daisy, find a home—only to stumble upon a suspiciously vacant apartment building tied to the criminal Dr. Phobia. As they investigate strange noises and a series of eerie encounters, the duo uncovers a web of deception and hidden traps, all while trying to protect the couple from a dangerous ruse.

In the eerie, abandoned house once owned by the late Professor Yeager, the Spirit and his partner Ebony investigate why no one will buy it—despite its free giveaway. Strange occurrences, from electric shocks to spinning rooms, suggest something unnatural, but the truth lies in a hidden scheme tied to the professor’s past as a dramatist obsessed with illusion.
