Synopsis for "Sivana Meets Aunt Minerva"
The plots of two of Captain Marvel's enemies intersect: Sivana tries to sneak into Billy Batson's room as he sleeps and kill him with a knife, while Aunt Minerva comes by to give him a whiff of her "magic perfume" and make Captain Marvel fall in love with her. It fails to have any effect on the captain, but Sivana falls head over heels for Minerva, and goes to rope the vault at a jeweler's to get a gift worthy of her. Meanwhile, in a ploy to make Captain Marvel jealous, Minerva gives him a phone call and tells him about the robbery. Marvel heads over and knocks out Sivana's underlings, but catches up to the World's Wickedest Scientist at his lab, making plans to elope with Minerva. A punch from Marvel shocks Sivana back to normal, and he's aghast that he was thinking of marrying a wretched villainess like Aunt Minerva! Marvel hauls them both off to jail while the two villains trade insults.
