Synopsis for "Green Lantern versus Baron Von Zorn"

In cities across America, vagrants and bums are turned into robot-men. At night the robot-men pillage and sabotage the cities. Police shoot these robot-men and the bodies go to the morgue. Concerned about the situation, Green Lantern goes to the morgue and steals a body to perform an autopsy on. He discovers that the robot-men have been injected by a drug that ruins conscious thought and he creates an antidote for the drug. Posing for several nights as a wandering hobo, Green Lantern is picked up by Baron Von Zorn's cronies. Once in the Baron's lair, he puts off his disguise, but is captured by Baron Von Zorn. The Baron describes his plan - to attack American states-men with the drug and abolish democracy. The Baron gives Green Lantern a shot of the drug, and Green Lantern pretends that the drug takes effect. He chases the Baron and the Baron's cronies to "Rocky Point," where a battle ensues. Green Lantern shoots the robot-men with the antidote and they help defeat the Baron's crew.
