    When asked by Zatara, stage actor Leslie Lawson claims he is too poor to donate to the Home for Aged Actors. Zatara finds that he is being threatened with physical disfigurement by Thumbs Turner, so he reassembles a group of the aged actors, dresses them in period costume for a Shakespeare production, and makes them young again. Lawson he turns into a giant, and Turner is suitably scared. Now that he no longer has to pay blackmail to Turner, Lawson donates $10,000 anonymously to the home.
