Synopsis for "The Cult of the Curse, part 3: Arena of Horror"

Captain Marvel saves the crowd from being eaten by Oggar's lions and cages the attacking animals. Oggar manages to find four people willing to join his cult, but they turn out to be loonies who think they're Julius Caesar, Samson, Nero, and Napoleon Bonaparte. At first Oggar plans to slay them for wasting his time, but then realizes their delusions may be useful to his plans to restore the world of ancient Rome and Egypt. The villain brands their foreheads with the mark of the cloven hoof and threatens that if they fail or desert him, the curse will drive them insane.

Captain Marvel catches up to Oggar and after another pointless battle, he gives up and decides to destroy Oggar's temple. The immortal conjures a flying chariot to escape with his new converts, not realizing he's left "Samson" behind. The lunatic follows the example of his namesake and thinks he's tearing down the temple Captain Marvel's actually destroyed. For deserting Oggar, the curse strikes "Samson." However since he was already insane, it instead reverses his condition and leaves him sane again.

Meanwhile, Oggar sets up a race track in Death Valley, and secretly has the gamblers who show up for the race sign a contract. The fine print says if his horse wins, they'll join the Cult of the Curse. Captain Marvel enters the race himself to save the unwitting victims.
