Synopsis for The Spectre: "The Mad Creation of Professor Fenton"

Nancy Fenton's car veers off a cliff but the Spectre is nearby and makes his arm huge to grab it before she falls to her doom. Corrigan takes Nancy back to the house of her father, a well-known scientist, who quickly grows suspicious of Corrigan being there to spy on his great discovery and hustles him out.

What is this discovery? Professor Fenton and his assistant Dexter carried out an experiment to separate Dexter's brain from his body, which caused Dexter's brain to gain awesome mental powers. He uses these powers to spark a crime wave. Then the bodiless villain imprisons Nancy and a remorseful Professor Fenton when they try to stop him. The Spectre investigates and uses his ghostly powers to stop Dexter's attempt to kidnap the president, only to find Dexter is a foe worthy of his mettle when the giant brain engulfs him. As he often does the Spectre summons the Ring of Life for an emergency power boost to break free and destroy Dexter, who still manages to kill Professor Fenton before shriveling out of existence.
