Synopsis for Hawkman: "The Rug People Rise Again"
While Carter's showing off a rug depicting an Indian hunting party at a large social function, suddenly the figures in it come to life and attack the guests. Hawkman and Hawkgirl start to make short work of the marauding Indians with their own primitive weapons, but one of them gets to the light switch and they escape in the darkness. When they come back on the Indians are back in the rug but the dog who went out the window wrestling with Carter is still missing.
Following a tipoff from a friendly scientist, the hawk duo travel to the cliff cities of New Mexico, hoping to learn more about the ancient "rug people" who could duplicate the feat they supposedly saw the night before. However, they fall into a trap by a gang of crooks dressed as Indians, who tie them to a giant loom to let Hawkman and Hawkgirl become "rug people" themselves!
Later the rug depicting the winged heroes is brought before the scientist who gave them the tip before, who's developed a machine that can convert people into flat figures and then bring them back. Suddenly the rug flies out the window, carrying the crooks into the sky and making them easy prey, carried by Hawkman and Hawkgirl underneath. They'd escaped from the loom and gotten a local weaver to make an ordinary rug with their images to trap the criminals.
