Synopsis for Green Arrow: "When Archers Meet"
Despite his good intentions and earlier promises, Professor Million again finds himself concocting some new crimes. This time he's assembling a scholarship fund; it's always something like that with this guy, and his solutions always take the form of crimes. Anticipating interference from Green Arrow and Speedy, he assembles a gang under the guise of an archery club, and tricks Green Arrow into training them in bowmanship. This works in the short run, but Green Arrow quickly figures out the scam and ambushes the gang. Their newfound skills help them escape, once, but the crooks are lured back into a second trap, and caught, while Professor Million escapes during an apparent lapse in Green Arrow's attention.

Synopsis for Doctor Fate: "Pharoah's Lamp!"
A man called Dane sells an ancient relic he found in Egypt, which is supposed to give bad luck to whoever is the owner of the artifact. A man called Tupper buys the relic and this event attracts the attention of Hairless Harry and his gang, who decide to steal the valuable object.
However, the artifact has also drawn the attention of Doctor Fate, who wants to learn more about the curse of Pharoah. Upon arriving at Tupper's place, Fate confronts Hairless Harry and his goons, who manage to steal the relic until they are captured by Fate. After delivering the crooks to the police, Fate then proceeds to capture Mr. Dane, as he discovered that the ancient relic is fake and in fact is a forgery made by Dane. Despite being a phony relic, the artifact has indeed brought bad luck to those who sought it.
