In prison, The Wizard becomes a model prisoner—just so he can become a trustee, work in the hospital, have access to chemicals...and break jail! The police soon have him surrounded in his house, but can't get in because of its defenses. He challenges the Torch to a battle to decide who is the better man. Against Sue's advice Johnny accepts the challenge, and he does pretty well until Sue shows up to "help" him. Thanks to her, he's caught, and both are almost killed in a bomb blast. But Johnny manages to free them both, get rid of the bomb, and corral the "superior intellect".; A man has recurring dreams of solitary confinement and goes to sea to escape this fate. He is shipwrecked and left alone on a desert island, unaware that this is the solitude he was destined for.; A house appears to be magically dismantled by wisps of smoke, but it is only a girl playing with her dollhouse while her father smokes.
