The Earth has stopped moving for hours and the effects are causing tremendous damage to all humans. Doctor Fate investigates the reasons behind the strange event, but after he helps Inza, by making it rain, everything returns to normal.
Unknown to Doctor Fate, the mad scientist Adam Igorovich has created a machine that can control the magnetic poles of Earth, manipulating Earth's movement and position in the Universe. Igorivich then attempts to blackmail the leaders of the world, but his warning goes unheard, forcing him to use his machine to create more chaos.
