- Arriving in the African Veldt, Adam Strange prepares to intercept the next Zeta-Beam when he hears the cries of an explorer that is about to be trampled by a herd of elephants. He frees the man and manages to catch the next Zeta-Beam at the last possible instant. Arriving on Rann, he is greeted by Alanna who tells him there is no danger threatening Rann, and so Alanna takes the downtime to show Adam Strange the many places on Rann.
They visit Ranagar City, the Sea of Abyx, and the Battlements of Ys, where Adam Strange is awarded a diamond key. Returning to their boat, Adam accidentally drops the key and when it's diamonds don't scratch the bottom of the boat, Adam's curiosity is piqued. Later in the city of Kallanoor, Adam is awarded with a coffer of gold coins. Later in a royal suite, Adam shows Alanna that the diamond key and the gold coins are fake. Thinking that he is on a false world, Alanna sets his mind at ease with a kiss.
Meanwhile on the planet Ekelon, the energy being known as Zakkad has created a magnetic meteor in order to bring Adam Strange to him, believing Adam to have the true secret of teleportation. Zakkad explains that he used his meteor to replace the gifts Adam was awarded with fakes in order to arouse his suspicion enough to keep him on Rann.
Back on Rann, Adam and Alanna are flying over the red desert of Palamar in a ship when they spot the magnetic meteor. Caught in it's magnetic force the two are pulled out into space, but Adam manages to blast them free. Curious as to where the meteor is going, the two follow it to the planet Ekelon. Landing on the planet, the two soon find Zakkad, who demands that Adam share his secret of teleportation or else he will use the meteor to pull Rann out of it's orbit. Realizing that Zakkad could possibly use the knowledge to rule the universe, Adam tells Alanna to be alert while he distracts Zakkad.
Refusing at first, Zakkad preps the meteor to pull Rann out of it's orbit, however Adam stops him when he has a "change of heart", and as Adam stalls for time, Alanna is able to adjust the controls on the meteors controls while Zakkad is distracted. Before Adam can tell anything, Alanna informs Adam that she just set the controls to pull Ekelon out of it's own orbit. With Zakkad having no way of getting off the planet, the two heroes use their ship to escape. However, when they arrive on Rann the Zeta-Beam wears off and Adam is sent back to Earth.
