Synopsis: Blue Devil wakes up in Metropolis to the sound of his landlady, Mrs. Cohen screaming for him from downstairs. She asks him to retrieve her cat, Snowball, out from under the bottom of a parked delivery truck. Blue Devil performs his good deed for the day, and even earns the appreciation of several neighbors.

That evening, he telephones Ragman and tells him that he might be late for the regularly scheduled Shadowpact meeting. His schedule is thrown into even further disarray when he has to stop a mugger from attacking a young woman in an alleyway.

Meanwhile, two demons named Mister Green and Mister Gray arrive on Earth and begin hunting Blue Devil. They represent the Demonic Retrieval Corps and are charged with bringing Blue Devil back to Hell. To further complicate matters, a large red dragon appears and begins tearing through the streets of Metropolis. Blue Devil manipulates Green and Grey into fighting the dragon, and after they subdue the creature, he turns the Trident of Lucifer against both of them, sending them back down to Hell.
