Synopsis for "Zatanna"
Zatanna has been given the spotlight in the Palace of Magic, thanks to Jeff Sloane's efforts. The show is a total success until the last act, where Zatanna uses some of her real magic to impress the audience. The Mistress of Magic opens a portal, but from inside, several Demons appear and Zatanna is forced to fight the evils spawns while she also concentrates on saving the audience.
When Jeff is dragged into the portal by the Demons, Zatanna decides to follow him in order to lure the demons inside the portal instead of leaving them roaming free on Earth. After crossing the portal, Zatanna doesn't recognize the dimension she has entered and her shock is even greater when a dark version of herself appears.
